[Vue 2.x](https://jsfiddle.net/Robin_ck/6x1akv1L/)
## Install
#### CDN
Recommended: https://unpkg.com/vue-ls, which will reflect the latest version as soon as it is published to npm. You can also browse the source of the npm package at https://unpkg.com/vue-ls/
Also available on jsDelivr or cdnjs, but these two services take some time to sync so the latest release may not be available yet.
#### NPM
``` bash
npm install vue-ls --save
```
#### Yarn
``` bash
yarn add vue-ls
```
#### Bower
``` bash
bower install vue-ls --save
```
## Development Setup
``` bash
# install dependencies
npm install
# build dist files
npm run build
```
## Usage
Vue storage API.
``` js
import Storage from 'vue-ls';
options = {
namespace: 'vuejs__', // key prefix
name: 'ls', // name variable Vue.[ls] or this.[$ls],
storage: 'local', // storage name session, local, memory
};
Vue.use(Storage, options);
//or
//Vue.use(Storage);
new Vue({
el: '#app',
mounted: function() {
Vue.ls.set('foo', 'boo');
//Set expire for item
Vue.ls.set('foo', 'boo', 60 * 60 * 1000); //expiry 1 hour
Vue.ls.get('foo');
Vue.ls.get('boo', 10); //if not set boo returned default 10
let callback = (val, oldVal, uri) => {
console.log('localStorage change', val);
}
Vue.ls.on('foo', callback) //watch change foo key and triggered callback
Vue.ls.off('foo', callback) //unwatch
Vue.ls.remove('foo');
}
});
```
#### Global
- `Vue.ls`
#### Context
- `this.$ls`
## API
#### `Vue.ls.get(name, def)`
Returns value under `name` in storage. Internally parses the value from JSON before returning it.
- `def`: default null, returned if not set `name`.
#### `Vue.ls.set(name, value, expire)`
Persists `value` under `name` in storage. Internally converts the `value` to JSON.
- `expire`: default null, life time in milliseconds `name`
#### `Vue.ls.remove(name)`
Removes `name` from storage. Returns `true` if the property was successfully deleted, and `false` otherwise.
#### `Vue.ls.clear()`
Clears storage.
#### `Vue.ls.on(name, callback)`
Listen for changes persisted against `name` on other tabs. Triggers `callback` when a change occurs, passing the following arguments.
- `newValue`: the current value for `name` in storage, parsed from the persisted JSON
- `oldValue`: the old value for `name` in storage, parsed from the persisted JSON
- `url`: the url for the tab where the modification came from
#### `Vue.ls.off(name, callback)`
Removes a listener previously attached with `Vue.ls.on(name, callback)`.

Testing Supported By
## Note
Some browsers don't support the storage event, and most of the browsers that do support it will only call it when the storage is changed by a different window. So, open your page up in two windows. Click the links in one window and you will probably see the event in the other.
The assumption is that your page will already know all interactions with localStorage in its own window and only needs notification when a different window changes things. This, of course, is a foolish assumption. But.
