This library provides an easy to use service to manage the web storages (local and session) from your Angular application. It provides also two decorators to synchronize the component attributes and the web storages.
- Update your project to Angular 7+
- Rename the module usages by NgxWebstorageModule.forRoot() (before: Ng2Webstorage)
The forRoot is now mandatory in the root module even if you don't need to configure the library
- Update your project to Angular 18+
- Rename the module usages by provideNgxWebstorage() (before: NgxWebstorageModule.forRoot())
- Add the new provider functions to configure the library
provideNgxWebstorage(
withNgxWebstorageConfig({ separator: ':', caseSensitive: true }),
withLocalStorage(),
withSessionStorage()
)-
Download the library using npm
npm install --save ngx-webstorage -
Declare the library in your main module
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core'; import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'; import {provideNgxWebstorage, withNgxWebstorageConfig} from 'ngx-webstorage'; @NgModule({ declarations: [...], imports: [ BrowserModule ], providers: [ provideNgxWebstorage(), //provideNgxWebstorage( // withNgxWebstorageConfig({ prefix: 'custom', separator: '.', caseSensitive:true }) //) // The config allows to configure the prefix, the separator and the caseSensitive option used by the library // Default values: // prefix: "ngx-webstorage" // separator: "|" // caseSensitive: false ] bootstrap: [...] }) export class AppModule { }
-
Inject the services you want in your components and/or use the available decorators
import {Component} from '@angular/core'; import {LocalStorageService, SessionStorageService} from 'ngx-webstorage'; @Component({ selector: 'foo', template: `foobar` }) export class FooComponent { constructor(private localSt:LocalStorageService) {} ngOnInit() { this.localSt.observe('key') .subscribe((value) => console.log('new value', value)); } }
import {Component} from '@angular/core'; import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage'; @Component({ selector: 'foo', template: `{{boundValue}}`, }) export class FooComponent { @LocalStorage() public boundValue; }
Since the new standalone API and angular v15+, provider functions are now the way to go to configure your application (learn more).
-
From now on to setup your project, you can use the
provideNgxWebstoragefunction. -
You can independently add the (you can of course add them both together):
localStoragefeatures withwithLocalStoragesessionStoragefeatures withwithLocalStorage
-
You can add a custom configuration with
withNgxWebstorageConfig
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
providers: [
// ...
provideNgxWebstorage(
withNgxWebstorageConfig({ separator: ':', caseSensitive: true }),
withLocalStorage(),
withSessionStorage()
)
]
})create or update an item in the local storage
- key: String. localStorage key.
- value: Serializable. value to store.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section><input type="text" [(ngModel)]="attribute"/></section>
<section><button (click)="saveValue()">Save</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
attribute;
constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}
saveValue() {
this.storage.store('boundValue', this.attribute);
}
}retrieve a value from the local storage
- key: String. localStorage key.
- Any; value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section>{{attribute}}</section>
<section><button (click)="retrieveValue()">Retrieve</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
attribute;
constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}
retrieveValue() {
this.attribute = this.storage.retrieve('boundValue');
}
}- key: (Optional) String. localStorage key.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService, LocalStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `
<section>{{boundAttribute}}</section>
<section><button (click)="clearItem()">Clear</button></section>
`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage('boundValue')
boundAttribute;
constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}
clearItem() {
this.storage.clear('boundValue');
//this.storage.clear(); //clear all the managed storage items
}
}import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService, LocalStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `...`,
})
export class FooComponent implements OnInit {
@LocalStorage('boundValue')
boundAttribute;
constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}
ngOnInit() {
let isAvailable = this.storage.isStorageAvailable();
console.log(isAvailable);
}
}- key: (Optional) localStorage key.
- Observable; instance of EventEmitter
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorageService, LocalStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{boundAttribute}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage('boundValue')
boundAttribute;
constructor(private storage:LocalStorageService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.storage.observe('boundValue')
.subscribe((newValue) => {
console.log(newValue);
})
}
}The api is identical as the LocalStorageService's
Synchronize the decorated attribute with a given value in the localStorage
- storage key: (Optional) String. localStorage key, by default the decorator will take the attribute name.
- default value: (Optional) Serializable. Default value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{boundAttribute}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@LocalStorage()
public boundAttribute;
}Synchronize the decorated attribute with a given value in the sessionStorage
- storage key: (Optional) String. SessionStorage key, by default the decorator will take the attribute name.
- default value: (Optional) Serializable. Default value
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {LocalStorage, SessionStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
@Component({
selector: 'foo',
template: `{{randomName}}`,
})
export class FooComponent {
@SessionStorage('AnotherBoundAttribute')
public randomName;
}- Serialization doesn't work for objects:
NgxWebstorage's decorators are based upon accessors so the update trigger only on assignation. Consequence, if you change the value of a bound object's property the new model will not be store properly. The same thing will happen with a push into a bound array. To handle this cases you have to trigger manually the accessor.
import {LocalStorage} from 'ngx-webstorage';
class FooBar {
@LocalStorage('prop')
myArray;
updateValue() {
this.myArray.push('foobar');
this.myArray = this.myArray; //does the trick
}
