ember-storages

An ember-cli addon to store data in storages (cache, local, memory, session).

Information

Install in ember-cli application

In your application's directory:

ember install ember-storages

Usage

This service is an overall cache which saves any type of data, by synchronizing them in memory and in localStorage. In both reading and writing, MemoryStorage takes precedence over LocalStorage. In the reading, when it is detected that the data has expired, it is deleted.

Example:

 
this.get('cache').set('foo', 'bar');
this.get('cache').get('foo'); // bar
 

It can be used from any file where this service is injected (by default in every routes and controllers).

Data validity

By default, the validity time of these data is 10 minutes. We can change this time by passing the amount of minutes or by passing the metadata object:

 
this.get('cache').set('foo', 'bar', moment().add(10, 'minutes'));  // 10 min
this.get('cache').set('foo', 'bar', {
  expire: moment().add(10, 'minutes'),   // 10 min
});
 

Data structure

The data is saved with the follow structure:

 
foo: {
  meta: {
       updated: 1429806124,     << last updated time
        expire: 1429806124       << time of expiration
    },
    data: "bar"
}
 

'meta.expire' is the timestamp in which time the data will be expired. 'data' is the storaged value.

Bindings

We can bind a property of controller and a value in cache. Example:

 
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    foo: Ember.computed.alias('this.cache.foo'),
     actions: {
        changeFoo() {
            this.set('foo', 'bar2');
        },
    }
    ...
}
