Support for sessionStorage? about store.js HOT 7 CLOSED

Store.js v2.0 has been released with support for sessionStorage!

If you update to the latest version you will automatically get this functionality plus a bunch more :)

The docs explain how to create a custom build - to get one that only uses sessionStorage, you can do this:

// Example custom build usage:
var engine = require('../store-engine')
var storages = [require('store/storages/sessionStorage')
var plugins = []
var store = engine.createStore(storages, plugins)
store.set('foo', 'bar')

from store.js.

Hi Daniel,

There is no way to implement sessionStorage properly without underlying
browser support (which is lacking in many of the supported browsers).

I don't think this would be right for store.js - feel free to close or
continue discussion!

Cheers,
Marcus

Is there any interest from anyone else in support for sessionStorage as an
alternative to localStorage?

There are times when I just want to keep the data for the browser session.
Mostly logged-in user info for a client side app.

Yeah, I'm spoiled here because I work on intranet apps and everyone has chrome frame installed in the company. If, at some point in the future, you wanted to make it easy to change the store name I wouldn't complain. ;-) Thanks for the reply

You could use window.name to implement sessionStorage for IE6/7 .

@hax: does window.name work across browser tabs/windows?

from store.js.

@marcuswestin The only polyfill of sessionStorage I've ever seen is https://code.google.com/p/sessionstorage , and it doesn't deal with tabs/wins. Maybe the author think it's not important, for example IE6, which is the most legacy browser do not support sessionStorage, is not a multi-tabs browser at all.

On the other side, if I read the spec correct, sessionStorage should be cloned for the new tabs/wins only this tab/win is opened from the original window and with the same origin. So I think it should be possible by accessing window.opener.name .

I will write some code to check my idea tomorrow.

Bump.

Want to add to this, or should we close?

Cheers
