Data
Cookies and local storage
CrossBrowdy can deal with local data, using internally the Web Storage API and falling back automatically to other methods (as localStorage library or cookies) when the first one is not available. Here is an example of cookies and local storage management:
//Sets data in local storage (uses Web Storage API or fallbacks automatically to localStorage or cookies otherwise):
CB_setDatum("my_index", "my_value"); //Stores data using the best storage method automatically.
CB_setDatum("my_index_2", "my_value_2", undefined, undefined, true); //Stores data forcing it to use cookies (without 'days' nor 'path set).
CB_setDatum("my_index_3", "my_value_3", 20, "/subfolder"); //Stores data using the best storage method automatically. If it finally uses cookies, they will last 20 days and use "/subfolder" path (otherwise, these parameter will be ignored).
CB_setDatum("my_index_4", "my_value_4", 30, undefined, true); //Stores data forcing it to use cookies. They will last 30 days.
CB_setDatum("my_index_5", "my_value_5", 25, "/subfolder", true); //Stores data forcing it to use cookies. They will last 30 days and use the "/subfolder" path.
//Recovers the data set previously. If not found through Web Storage API or localStorage, it will search in the cookies:
var myDatum = CB_getDatum("my_index"); //Returns "my_value".
var myDatum_2 = CB_getDatum("my_index_2"); //Returns "my_value_2".
var myDatum_3 = CB_getDatum("my_index_3"); //Returns "my_value_3" (if cookies were finally used, only if we are in "/subfolder").
var myDatum_4 = CB_getDatum("my_index_4"); //Returns "my_value_4".
var myDatum_5 = CB_getDatum("my_index_5"); //Returns "my_value_5" (only if we are in "/subfolder").
//Sets data in a cookie:
CB_setCookie("my_index_6", "my_value_6"); //Stores the data in a cookie (without 'days' nor 'path' set).
CB_setCookie("my_index_7", "my_value_7", 365); //Stores the data in a cookie (using 365 days storage).
CB_setCookie("my_index_8", "my_value_8", 5, "/subfolder"); //Stores the data in a cookie (using 5 days storage and "/subfolder" path).
//Recovers the data set previously, from the cookies:
var myDatum_6 = CB_getCookie("my_index_6"); //Returns "my_value_6".
var myDatum_7 = CB_getCookie("my_index_7"); //Returns "my_value_7".
var myDatum_8 = CB_getCookie("my_index_8"); //Returns "my_value_8" (only if we are in "/subfolder").
