pinia-persistence-plugin

Handle Pinia state persistence easily.

Features

• Support multiple storages.
• Can be configured globally and in every Pinia store.
• Support async storages like localForage.
• Storages, store paths and serialization method can be customized.

Installation

Install with your favorite package manager:

# npm
npm i pinia-persistence-plugin
# yarn
yarn add pinia-persistence-plugin
# pnpm
pnpm add pinia-persistence-plugin

Usage

Add this plugin to your Pinia instance:

import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import { persistencePlugin } from 'pinia-persistence-plugin'

const pinia = createPinia()
pinia.use(persistencePlugin())

The persistence is enabled by default for all pinia stores and the default storage is localStorage.

Configuration

Plugin Options

persistencePlugin({
 // plugin options goes here
 storeKeysPrefix: 'test',
 persistenceDefault: false,
 storageItemsDefault: [
  {
   storage: sessionStorage,
  },
 ],
 debug: true,
})

• storeKeysPrefix?: string: Defaults to undefined. Add prefix to stores keys.

• persistenceDefault?: boolean: Defaults to true. Whether to persist all stores by default.

• storageItemsDefault?: PluginStorageItem[]: Defaults to localStorage. List of storages.

• assertStorage?: (storage: Storage) => void | Promise<void>: Perform a write and delete operation by default. To ensure storages is available.

• ensureAsyncStorageUpdateOrder?: boolean: Ensure that the update of asynchronous storages is done in order

• debug?: boolean: Defaults to false. Display errors and warnings in console.

PluginStorageItem

• storage?: Storage: Where to store persisted state

• includePaths?: string[]: Defaults to []. An array of any paths to partially persist the state

• excludePaths?: string[]: Defaults to []. An array of any paths to exclude

• serializer?: Serializer: Object containing serialize and deserialize methods

  • serialize?: (state: S): any: Defaults to JSON.stringify. This method will be called right before storage.setItem.

  • deserialize?: (value: any): any: Defaults to JSON.parse. This method will be called right after storage.getItem.

Store Options

defineStore(
 'store',
 () => {
  const count = ref(0)
  const increment = () => count.value++
  return {
   count,
   increment,
  }
 },
 {
  persistence: {
   // store options goes here
   enabled: true,
   storageItems: [
    {
     key: 'sample',
     storage: sessionStorage,
     includePaths: ['count'],
    },
   ],
  },
 }
)

• enabled?: boolean: Enable persistence for the store
• storageItems?: StorageItem[]: List of storages.
• beforeHydrate?: (oldState: S) => void: Perform some tasks before patching the store

StorageItem

• key?: string: Defaults to store.$id. The persisted store state key. And the same properties as PluginStorageItem

Storage

• getItem: (key: string) => any | Promise<any>

• setItem: (key: string, value: any) => void | Promise<void>

• removeItem: (key: string) => void | Promise<void>

Some examples of use

js-cookie

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

import Cookies from 'js-cookie'

defineStore('example', {
 // ...
 persistence: {
  enabled: true,
  storageItems: [
   {
    storage: {
     getItem: (key: string) => {
      return Cookies.get(key)
     },
     setItem: (key: string, value: any) => {
      Cookies.set(key, value)
     },
     removeItem: (key: string) => {
      Cookies.remove(key)
     },
    },
   },
  ],
 },
})

localForage

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

import localforage from 'localforage'

localforage.config({
 driver: [localforage.INDEXEDDB],
 name: 'Test IndexedDB',
 storeName: 'store',
})

defineStore('example', {
 // ...
 persistence: {
  enabled: true,
  storageItems: [
   {
    storage: {
     getItem: async (key: string) => {
      return await localforage.getItem(key)
     },
     setItem: async (key: string, value: any) => {
      await localforage.setItem(key, value)
     },
     removeItem: async (key: string) => {
      await localforage.removeItem(key)
     },
    },
   },
  ],
 },
})

Custom serialize method

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

import stringify from 'json-stringify-safe'

defineStore('example', {
 // ...
 persistence: {
  enabled: true,
  storageItems: [
   {
    storage: localStorage,
    serializer: {
     serialize: (value: any) => stringify(value),
    },
   },
  ],
 },
})

localStorage with SecureLS encryption

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

import SecureLS from 'secure-ls'

var ls = new SecureLS({
 encodingType: 'aes',
 isCompression: false,
})

defineStore('example', {
 // ...
 persistence: {
  enabled: true,
  storageItems: [
   {
    key: 'encrypted_data',
    storage: {
     getItem: (key: string) => {
      try {
       return ls.get(key)
      } catch (error) {
       console.error(error)
      }
     },
     setItem: (key: string, value: any) => {
      try {
       ls.set(key, value)
      } catch (error) {
       console.error(error)
      }
     },
     removeItem: (key: string) => {
      try {
       ls.remove(key)
      } catch (error) {
       console.error(error)
      }
     },
    },
   },
  ],
 },
})
