options.store.{get,set,unset} & async initialisation
gr2m opened this issue ยท 1 comments
As part of our effort to make Hoodie Client compatible with Service Worker and other environments that do not have access to localStorage, we have to make the Account Client compatible with async store APIs. That means we canโt load the current account state synchronously, so this will no longer be possible:
var account = new Account({
url: '/api'
})
if (account.isSignedIn()) {
sayHi(account.username)
}
Instead we will have to wrap the synchronous methods and properties into account.ready.then()
account.ready.then(function () {
if (account.isSignedIn()) {
sayHi(account.username)
}
})
By default, the account will still use localStorage (via humble-localstorage) to persist its state, but it will now be made asynchronous. In order to use another storage a new options.store
argument can be passed to the Account constructor:
var account = new Account({
url: '/api',
store: {
set: writeAccountState
get: getAccountState,
unset: clearAccountState,
}
})
All three options.store
methods must return promises
this is done
