ngx-lss
ngx-lss
is an angular library that provides a reactive adapter for localStorage
API
Features
- 🎆 Provides
Observable
API
- 👀 Allows watching changes made in other tabs
- 🐣 Easily adaptable and replaceable (3 simple methods:
save
, get
, remove
)
- 🔬 Fully tested with
jasmine
Installation
Setting up
- Import
NgxLocalStorageModule
to root module of your app
import { NgxLocalStorageModule } from 'ngx-lss';
@NgModule({
// ...
imports: [
// ...
NgxLocalStorageModule.forRoot(),
]
})
export class AppModule { }
- Inject the service in your injectable class
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxLocalStorageService } from 'ngx-lss';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
public constructor(
private readonly NgxLocalStorageService: NgxLocalStorageService,
) {
// ...
}
}
Usage examples
Abstracting the service in a domain specific storage
💡 This is a recommended way to use the ngx-lss
in your applications. It allows you to clearly separate the logic of working with the local storage from the business logic of your application. Also, this way, you can easily replace the library with another storage or your own implementation.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxLocalStorageService } from 'ngx-lss';
import { map, Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { UserSecret } from '../models/user-secret';
const USER_SECRET_STORAGE_KEY = 'user';
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class UserSecretStorageService {
/** Credential secret of the current user. */
public readonly currentSecret$: Observable<UserSecret | null>;
public constructor(
private readonly storageService: NgxLocalStorageService,
) {
this.currentSecret$ = this.storageService.get<UserSecret>(USER_SECRET_STORAGE_KEY);
}
/**
* Saves secret to the current storage.
* @param secret Secret to save.
*/
public saveSecret(
secret: UserSecret,
): Observable<UserSecret> {
return this.storageService.save(USER_SECRET_STORAGE_KEY, secret).pipe(map(() => secret));
}
/** Removes current secret. */
public removeSecret(): Observable<void> {
return this.storageService.remove(USER_SECRET_STORAGE_KEY);
}
}
Accessing the storage API directly from a component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxLocalStorageService } from 'ngx-lss';
const COUNTER_KEY = 'counter';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
/** Clicks counter. */
public readonly counter$: Observable<number | null>;
public constructor(
private readonly storage: NgxLocalStorageService,
) {
this.counter$ = this.storage.get<number>(COUNTER_KEY);
}
public onUserClick(): void {
this.counter$.pipe(
first(),
map(counter => counter ?? 0),
switchMap(counter => this.storage.save(COUNTER_KEY, counter + 1)),
).subscribe();
}
}
