ng-web-storage

An Angular module that gives you access to the browsers web storage (no fallbacks for now).

Get Started

(1) You can install ng-web-storage using 2 different ways:
Git: clone & build this repository
Bower:

$ bower install ng-web-storage --save

npm:

$ npm install ng-web-storage

(2) Include ng-web-storage.js (or ng-web-storage.min.js) from the dist directory in your index.html, after including Angular itself.

(3) Add 'ngWebStorageModule' to your main module's list of dependencies.

When you're done, your setup should look similar to the following:

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
 
</head>
<body>
    ...
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script> 
    <script src="bower_components/js/ng-web-storage.min.js"></script> 
    ...
    <script>
        var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngWebStorageModule']);
 
    </script> 
    ...
</body>
</html>

Configuration

setPrefix

You could set a prefix to avoid overwriting any local storage variables from the rest of your app
Default prefix: ls.<your-key>

myApp.config(function (ngWebStorageServiceProvider) {
  ngWebStorageServiceProvider
    .setPrefix('yourAppName');
});

setStorageCookie

Set cookie options (usually in case of fallback)
expiry: number of days before cookies expire (0 = does not expire). default: 30
path: the web path the cookie represents. default: '/'

myApp.config(function (ngWebStorageServiceProvider) {
  ngWebStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookie(45, '<path>');
});

setStorageCookieDomain

Set the cookie domain, since this runs inside a the config() block, only providers and constants can be injected. As a result, $location service can't be used here, use a hardcoded string or window.location.
No default value

myApp.config(function (ngWebStorageServiceProvider) {
  ngWebStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookieDomain('<domain>');
});

For local testing (when you are testing on localhost) set the domain to an empty string ''. Setting the domain to 'localhost' will not work on all browsers (eg. Chrome) since some browsers only allow you to set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e. something ending in .com or so, but not IPs or intranet hostnames like localhost.

setNotify

Send signals for each of the following actions:
setItem , default: true
removeItem , default: false

myApp.config(function (ngWebStorageServiceProvider) {
  ngWebStorageServiceProvider
    .setNotify(true, true);
});

key: string - Key to be used in the storage
Returns: string - Full key used by the system

myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, ngWebStorageService) {

Storage Wrappers

There are three wrappers for storage: ngSessionWebStorageService, ngLocalWebStorageService and ngCookieStorageService. All share the following API to interact with session, local and cookie storage respectively.
We will use ngSessionWebStorageService in the next examples.

isStorageSupported

No fallback exists at the moment.
Params:

  //...
  function getItem(key) {
   return ngSessionWebStorageService.get(key);

  //...
  function submit(key, val) {
   return ngSessionWebStorageService.set(key, val);
  }
  //...
});

keys

Return array of keys for web storage, ignore keys that not owned.

  //...
  ngSessionWebStorageService.set('property', 'oldValue');
  $scope.unbind = ngSessionWebStorageService.bind($scope, 'property');
 
  //Test Changes
  $scope.update = function(val) {
    $scope.property = val;
    $timeout(function() {
      alert("localStorage value: " + ngSessionWebStorageService.get('property'));
    });
  }
  //...
});

<div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
  <p>{{property}}</p>
