/** * @class Ext.data.proxy.LocalStorage * @extend Ext.data.proxy.WebStorage * @alias proxy.localstorage * The LocalStorageProxy uses the new HTML5 localStorage API to save {@link Ext.data.Model Model} data locally on the * client browser. HTML5 localStorage is a key-value store (e.g. cannot save complex objects like JSON), so * LocalStorageProxy automatically serializes and deserializes data when saving and retrieving it. * * localStorage is extremely useful for saving user-specific information without needing to build server-side * infrastructure to support it. Let's imagine we're writing a Twitter search application and want to save the user's * searches locally so they can easily perform a saved search again later. We'd start by creating a Search model: * * Ext.define('Search', { * fields: ['id', 'query'], * extend: 'Ext.data.Model', * proxy: { * type: 'localstorage', * id : 'twitter-Searches' * } * }); * * Our Search model contains just two fields - id and query - plus a Proxy definition. The only configuration we need to * pass to the LocalStorage proxy is an {@link #id}. This is important as it separates the Model data in this Proxy from * all others. The localStorage API puts all data into a single shared namespace, so by setting an id we enable * LocalStorageProxy to manage the saved Search data. * * Saving our data into localStorage is easy and would usually be done with a {@link Ext.data.Store Store}: * * //our Store automatically picks up the LocalStorageProxy defined on the Search model * var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { * model: "Search" * }); * * //loads any existing Search data from localStorage * store.load(); * * //now add some Searches * store.add({query: 'Sencha Touch'}); * store.add({query: 'Ext JS'}); * * //finally, save our Search data to localStorage * store.sync(); * * The LocalStorageProxy automatically gives our new Searches an id when we call store.sync(). It encodes the Model data * and places it into localStorage. We can also save directly to localStorage, bypassing the Store altogether: * * var search = Ext.create('Search', {query: 'Sencha Animator'}); * * //uses the configured LocalStorageProxy to save the new Search to localStorage * search.save(); * * # Limitations * * If this proxy is used in a browser where local storage is not supported, the constructor will throw an error. A local * storage proxy requires a unique ID which is used as a key in which all record data are stored in the local storage * object. * * It's important to supply this unique ID as it cannot be reliably determined otherwise. If no id is provided but the * attached store has a storeId, the storeId will be used. If neither option is presented the proxy will throw an error. */
