LocalForage – A fast and simple storage library for JavaScript

This is a great library. It's simple but flexible. You can treat it like async key-value storage but it has extra features like using different databases, all while handling the details of IndexedDB, WebSQL or localStorage support.

General question: How do you handle cases where people surf in private mode in Safari? Safari doesn’t allow localStorage in private mode.

Interesting, I've been very happy with pouchdb finagling all these browser DBs into one that matches couchdb on the server side.. I would really have to think about the auth logistics for memcache to switch to a kV store. But that would be even more insane minimalism atop the absurd complexity of the web stack.

This is at least the 8th time this has been posted (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?q=localForage" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?q=localForage</a>). Is there something new or significant that we need to know about?

While I am fascinated by this, what are some good use cases for using offline storage? How can a web-enabled browser app benefit from offline storage? I&#x27;ve come to appreciate the power that client-side stores like what Redux and MobX provide, but what&#x27;s the benefit and use case of using this?

It&#x27;s asynchronous, localStorage is synchronous

I tried this but ended up going with SimpleStorage. I can&#x27;t remember why but there was something better about it.
