Feature request: Force fake mode about store HOT 3 CLOSED

Interesting. Do you expect this would affect all areas? So store.session.isFake() would return true after calling store.forceFake()? And would you be able to turn off fake mode w/o reloading the page? Like store.forceFake(false)?

My inclination would be no, only have it affect the current area. In fact, the easiest way to implement it would be to replace the area it was called on with a fake one, of course, that's not as trivial to reverse, so i'd probably just have it be forceFake() with no args, unless there was call for turning it off again.

You could probably mimic what i'm picturing by with an extension like:

store._.fn('forceFake', function() {
this._area = _.storage('fake');// uses an internal prop '_area'
})

Then you could call

store.session.forceFake()

And only sessionStorage would be superseded with fake storage.

I haven't tested that, but i think it'd do the trick.

I think this is small enough to be worth considering adding in the next release. Leave this issue open until i do that or change my mind. :)

Aha, that works! Slightly modified for posterity:

// Register forceFake extension
store._.fn('forceFake', function() {
  this._area = store._.storage('fake');
});

// Force fake localStorage
store.local.forceFake();

// Force fake sessionStorage
store.session.forceFake();

Thanks for your help. 👍
