low-cal-storage is a lightweight wrapper around window.localStorage that slims down your data for storage and fattens it up again on retrieval.

For most use-cases plain old localStorage is good enough - but if you want to store a significant amount of similarly shaped data (i.e. large arrays of objects of the same type) with localStorage, you may find that you reach the browser limit quite fast. low-cal-storage replaces long object keys with shorter ones for storage purposes, and maps them back on retrieval.

npm install low-cal-storage --save

yarn add low-cal-storage --save

import lowCal from 'low-cal-storage';

const myObject = { hello: 'world' };

// Store the object in "low-cal-storage" - note that we do not need to stringify first
lowCal.setItem('my object', myObject);

// Retrieve the object from "low-cal-storage" - note that we do not need to parse the result
const retrievedObject = lowCal.getItem('my object');

// Clear "low-cal-storage" out
lowCal.clear();
