akonwi / ChromeStorage

Friendly promise-based way to do storage in Chrome extensions

#ChromeStorage

A straightforward, promise-based API for working with storage in Chrome extensions.

Just drop in the src/index.js file into your project and transpile it into es5. If you're not using es6, the vanilla js version is in the dist/ folder and it's a commonjs module.

Tests

tape spec/chrome-storage-spec.js

Create function

The module exports a factory function create which takes one argument and that is which persistence to use (ChromeStorage.LOCAL || ChromeStorage.SYNC)

###Examples:

import * as ChromeStorage from '../lib/chrome-storage'

const store = ChromeStorage.create(ChromeStorage.SYNC)

store.set('name', 'akonwi').then(() => {
  // continue...
})

store.get('name').then((name) => {
  console.log("my name is", name)
})

store.all().then((data) => {
  console.log("my name is", data.name)
})

let promise = store.remove('name').then(() => {
  // continue..
})
promise.catch((error) => {
  console.error(error)
})

If for some reason you need to extend the storage object, you'll have to use Object.create(storage) because each instance of ChromeStorage is immutable.
