Instance & API

/**
 * @param {"localStorage"|"sessionStorage"} areaName
 * @param {Object} [options]
 * @param {string} [options.prefix = ""] - The prefix of storage keys. Using the
 *        Browser-Storage API to store, retrieve user data from
 *        localStorage/sessionStorage will be limited to a certain area.
 *   e.g: `bs.clear()` will only clear keys prefixed with `media_` which your
 *        previous set in `options.prefix`.
 * @param {Function} [options.parse = (text: string): any => JSON.parse(text)]
 *        Use this function to parse text before the text returns.
 * @param {Function} [options.stringify = (vaule: any): string => JSON.stringify(value)]
 *        Use this function to stringify value before setting the value.

Example

const bs1 = new BrowserStorage("localStorage");
const bs2 = new BrowserStorage("localStorage", { prefix: "test." });
if (bs1.available()) {
    bs2.set({ abc: 12358 });

    const abc1 = bs1.get("test.abc")["test.abc"];
    const abc2 = bs2.get(["abc"])["abc"];

    console.log(abc1 === abc2); // true
    console.log(abc1 === 12358); // true

    const value = "should be return this statement";
    const __inexistent_value__ = bs1.get({ __inexistent_key__: value }).__inexistent_key__;

    console.log(value === __inexistent_value__); // true
