Tag: Local Storage

The below code snippets work in Angular 9. This will ensure the implementation for the storage service is the same, regardless of whether we are persisting to Local or Session storage.

import { InjectionToken } from '@angular/core';

export const LOCAL_STORAGE = new InjectionToken<Storage>('Browser Storage', {
    providedIn: 'root',
    factory: () => localStorage
});

export const SESSION_STORAGE = new InjectionToken<Storage>('Browser Storage', {
    providedIn: 'root',
    factory: () => sessionStorage
});

export interface IStore {
    get(key: string): any;
    set(key: string, value: string): void
    remove(key: string): void
    clear(): void
}

import { IStore } from './istore';

export class StorageService implements IStore {
    // it is expected that implementors of this class will inject Storage
    constructor(public storage: Storage) { }
    get(key: string) {
        return this.storage.getItem(key);
    }

    set(key: string, value: string) {
        this.storage.setItem(key, value);
    }

    remove(key: string) {
        this.storage.removeItem(key);
    }

    clear() {
        this.storage.clear();
    }
}
