Elephants never forget
Elephant.js is a simple localStorage wrapper that serializes and deserializes
JavaScript objects to a single JSON object using window.localStorage if
available.
If window.localStorage isn't available Elephant.js will try to fallback
on cookies - but this isn't really reliable for data sets bigger than 4kb. It could
also hurt HTTP performance by unnecessarily burdening all HTTP transactions
with possible huge cookies.
Use at your own risk.
Where does an elephant keep his clothes?
In his trunk!
// Setup a store
var store = new Elephant.Trunk('mystore');
// Save a monkey
var monkey = {
name: 'Bobo',
age: 3,
abilities: ['sign language', 'eating bananas']
};
monkey = store.save(monkey);
// Saved objects get guids
console.log(monkey);
// Object
// abilities: Array[2]
// 0: "sign language"
// 1: "eating bananas"
// length: 2
// __proto__: Array[0]
// age: 3
// guid: "53b425a6-47cb-462c-9498-ba236becee06"
// name: "Bobo"
// __proto__: Object
// Find a monkey
store.find(monkey.guid) === monkey; // true
// Destroy a monkey
monkey = store.destroy(monkey);
monkey.guid === undefined; // true- Implement cookie fallback
