[jQuery] New Plugin - jQuery Persistent Client-Side Storage
I've just released a new plugin, called jStore, which provides jQuery
with a way to interface with all current and upcoming persistent
client-side storage solutions. This includes google gears, flash
(through SharedObject, or Flash Cookies), local/sessionStorage, the
WHAT_WG HTML5 database, and IE's userData behavior. Right now, I'm
experiencing some DNS issues with my hosting provider, so my
documentation/demo site isn't up, but it should be soon.
What I'm looking for is some feedback and help testing the engine on
different machines to help identify bugs. If you'd like to give it a
shot or have a look, you can download both the production and
development version, or SVN the source code from http://code.google.com/p/jquery-jstore
To use the plugin, you simply include the script:
<script type="text/javacript" src="/path/to/jquery.jstore-all-min.js">
It should automatically detect an available storage engine, and you
should be able to store/fetch data with:
jQuery.jStore.store(key); // Gets values
or jQuery('#someobj').store(key); // Returns the value
jQuery.jStore.store(key,value); // Sets values
or jQuery('#someobj').store(key,value); // Returns the jQuery chain
jQuery.jStore.remove(key); // Removes values
or jQuery('#someobj').removeStore(key); // Returns the jQuery chain
I'll post a followup as soon as the docs/demo is back up, as it'll do
a better job explaining it than I can here. :)
Thanks for your help!
