Backbone localStorage and sessionStorage Adapter v1.0

Quite simply a localStorage and sessionStorage adapter for Backbone. It's a drop-in replacement for Backbone.Sync() to handle saving to a localStorage or sessionStorage databases.

This is a rough fork of jeromegn's excellent Backbone.localStorage module.

Usage

Include Backbone.domStorage after having included Backbone.js:

<script type="text/javascript" src="backbone.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="backbone.domStorage.js"></script>

Create your collections like so:

window.SomeCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  
  localStorage: new Backbone.LocalStorage("SomeLocalCollection"), // Unique name within your app.
  
  // ... everything else is normal.
  
});

or

window.SomeCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  
  sessionStorage: new Backbone.SessionStorage("SomeSessionCollection"), // Unique name within your app.
  
  // ... everything else is normal.
  
});

Feel free to use Backbone as you usually would, this is a drop-in replacement.

You'll need node and to npm install before being able to run the minification script.

1. Fork;
2. Write code;
3. Write tests (or vice et versa);
4. make test;
5. make minified;
6. Create a pull request.

Have fun!
