Installation

Install via npm:

npm install @newteq/ngx-local-storage --save

Usage

1. Import NgxLocalStorageModule

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxLocalStorageModule } from 'ngx-localstorage';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        NgxLocalStorageModule.forRoot()
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

OR

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxLocalStorageModule } from 'ngx-localstorage';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        NgxLocalStorageModule.forRoot({
					prefix: 'my-prefix',
					defaultJsonConversion: false,
				})
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Configuration (NgxLocalStorageModule.forRoot(localStorageConfig))

• localStorageConfig
  • Type: NgxLocalStorageConfig
    • Optional
• NgxLocalstorageConfig Interface
  • prefix
    • Type: string
    • Determines the key prefix.
    • Default: ngx-local-storage
  • defaultJsonConversion
    • Type: boolean
    • Determines if the data is stored as a JSON object. (i.e. it is stored with JSON.stringify() and loaded with JSON.parse())
    • Default: true
  • nullUndefinedIsTheSame
    • Type: boolean
    • Determines if the service should try null and undefined as the same type. Usually would you want this to be the case, but you can change it.
    • Default: true
  • allowNullStorage
    • Type: boolean
    • Determines if null can be stored against a key. If null is passed to the setItem method, and this flag is true, it will save null to that key. By default it will remove the item if null is passed it the setItem as the default value is false. This works in conjuction with the nullUndefinedIsTheSame property and if this is true, the same behaviour will happen if undefined is passed in and this is set to true. It will remove the item rather than presisting it.
    • Default: false

API

• getItem(key: string): T | any: Gets the entry specified by the given key.
• removeItem(key: string): void: Removes the entry specified by the given key.

import { LocalStorageService } from '@newteq/ngx-local-storage';

@Component({

  template: './storage-access.component.html'
})
export class StorageAccessComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor(private localStorageService: LocalStorageService) {
  }
  
  ngOnInit(): void {
		this.localStorageService.set('key', 'value');
		console.log(this.localStorageService.get('key'));
		this.localStorageService.remove('key'); // or this.localStorageService.clear();
  }
