Basic LocalStorage Array with limit, uid, search functionality
Hi,
I have made this small little gem that can be quickly implemented to store and grab array info. I needed to store the last amount of items sorted by latest clicked, to oldest. I used this array to do the unshifting, popping, pushing, purging etc. It works best for saving history as it has all the stuff that is needed for it (limited amount, search to delete objects in the array)
Anyway here is the coffeescript, the public part is the stuff you want to use:
Array::remove = (from, to) ->
rest = @slice((to or from) + 1 || @length)
@length = if from < 0 then this.length + from else from
@push.apply @, rest
# Simple class that makes array extend into the localstorage and updates accordingly
class @LocalStorageArray
constructor: ( @strUid = undefined, @numLimit = 0 ) ->
if not @strUid
@strUid = do () ->
numTotal = 10
numString = ''
for i in [0...numTotal] by 1 then numString = numString + Math.floor((1 + Math.random()) * 0x10000).toString(16).substring(1)
numString
## Private
_fetch: ->
@arrItems = localStorage.getItem @strUid
@arrItems = if @arrItems then JSON.parse(@arrItems) else []
@arrItems
_update: ->
localStorage.setItem @strUid, JSON.stringify(@arrItems)
@_fetch()
_do: ( fnCallback, arrArguments = [] ) ->
@_fetch()
fnCallback.bind(@).apply @, arrArguments
@_update()
_checkLimit: ( boolReverse = false ) ->
if @numLimit
numDifference = @arrItems.length - @numLimit
if numDifference > 0
if boolReverse
@arrItems = @arrItems.slice 0, @arrItems.length-numDifference
else
@arrItems = @arrItems.slice numDifference
## Public
setKey: ( @strUid ) ->
getKey: -> @strUid
get: -> @_fetch()
set: ( @arrItems ) -> @_update()
unshift: ( anyItem ) ->
@_do (( anyItem ) ->
@arrItems.unshift anyItem
@_checkLimit true
), [anyItem]
push: ( anyItem ) ->
@_do (( anyItem ) ->
@arrItems.push anyItem
@_checkLimit false
), [anyItem]
pop: -> @_do -> @arrItems.pop()
purge: -> @_do -> @arrItems = []
remove: ( numIndex ) -> @_do -> @arrItems.remove numIndex
searchAndDestroy: ( strProperty, strValue ) ->
objMatched = @matchProperty(strProperty, strValue)
if objMatched.matched then @remove objMatched.index
matchProperty: ( strProperty, strValue ) ->
# Tries to match on property in objects in the array for searching for duplicates
@_fetch()
objMatched =
matched: false
index: 0
for objItem in @arrItems by 1
if typeof objItem is 'object'
if objItem[strProperty] is strValue
objMatched =
matched: true
index: _i
break;
objMatched
