Supports sync, async, iteration and default values. Written in TypeScript. Uses the storage-facade library which is provides a single storage API that abstracts over the actual storage implementation.
npm install storage-facade@4 storage-facade-mockinterface@4
There are similar libraries for other storages: indexedDB, localStorage, sessionStorage, Map.
-
.clear()
- removes all key-value pairs from the storage -
.getEntries()
async only, returns an array of promises to iterate -
.entries()
sync only, returns an array of key-value pairs -
.deleteStorage()
- delete storage -
.size()
- returns the number of key-value pairs -
.key(index: number)
- returns the name of the key by its index
The key
and size
methods can be used to create custom iterators.
The default values are used if the value in the storage is undefined
.
Default values are not stored in the storage, but in the instance.
Therefore, all these methods are synchronous (no need to use the await
keyword):
-
.addDefault(obj)
- adds keys and values from the passed object to the list of default values -
.setDefault(obj)
- replaces the list of default values with the given object -
.getDefault()
- returns an object containing default values -
.clearDefault()
- replaces a list of default values with an empty object

When writing, accesses to first-level keys (like storage.a =
,
but not storage.a[0] =
or storage.a.b =
) are intercepted only,
so if you need to make changes inside the object, you need to make changes
and then assign it to the first level key.
Assigning keys of the second or more levels will not give any effect.
sync:
// Read
console.log((storage.value as Record<string, unknown>).data); // Ok
// Write
// Don't do that
storage.value.data = 42; // no effect
Instead, use the following approach:
// Read
console.log((storage.value as Record<string, unknown>).data); // Ok
// Write
// Get object
const updatedValue = storage.value as Record<string, unknown>;
// Make changes
updatedValue.data = 42;
// Update storage
storage.value = updatedValue; // Ок
async:
// Read
console.log(
((await storage.value) as Record<string, unknown>).data
); // Ok
// Write
// Get object
const updatedValue = (await storage.value) as Record<string, unknown>;
// Make changes
updatedValue.data = 42;
// Update storage
storage.value = updatedValue;
await storage.value // Ок
There is a list of key names that cannot be used because they are the same
as built-in method names: [clear
, deleteStorage
, size
, key
,
getEntries
, entries
, addDefault
, setDefault
, getDefault
, clearDefault
].
Use the keyIsNotBanned
function to check the key if needed.
import { createStorage, keyIsNotBanned } from 'storage-facade';
import { MockInterface } from 'storage-facade-mockinterface';
const storage = createStorage({
use: new MockInterface(),
asyncMode: false,
});
try {
const myNewKey = 'newKey';
if (keyIsNotBanned(myNewKey)) {
storage[myNewKey] = 42;
}
} catch (e) {
console.error((e as Error).message);
}
Only values of type string
can be used as keys.
Values for [addDefault
, setDefault
] methods
should be of any structured-cloneable type (MDN).
