ls-map-wrap

A wrapper around localstorage, so it can be used as a Map

Getting Started

Install it via npm:

npm install ls-map-wrap

And include in your project:

// Using ESM
import lsMapWrap from 'ls-map-wrap';
// Or using CJS
const lsMapWrap = require('ls-map-wrap');

Usage

import lsMapWrap from 'ls-map-wrap';
 
lsMapWrap.set('key', {ultimateAnswer: 42});
lsMapWrap.get('key'); // {ultimateAnswer: 42}
lsMapWrap.has('key'); // true
 
// works with values not typically handled by JSON.stringify/parse
lsMapWrap.set('nan', NaN);
Number.isNaN(lsMapWrap.get('nan')); // true
 
// works with functions too
lsMapWrap.set('simpleFn', () => console.log('hello'));
const fn = lsMapWrap.get('simpleFn');
fn(); // hello is logged to the console
 
lsMapWrap.delete('key');
lsMapWrap.has('key'); // false
 
lsMapWrap.clear();
lsMapWrap.has('nan'); // false
