Hi Rune,
If you have dozens of Mb of datas, then LocalStorage is a dead end. It has been
designed to be a local cookie (aka not available server-side, so not sent in
every http request). So just to store a string or two (username, json string of
params, ...), not megabytes of text.
IndexedDb is the (only) right way to go. It’s a totally crappy over-engineered
noSql beast, but that’s the only option we have nowdays...
Longer answer here : https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/219964
The install prompt is a new spec only available on Google Chrome. It uses a web
manifest json file to do it. Then all the rest that makes a “progressive
webapp” (PWA) is a set of new html5 features like service workers, push api, ...
For Safari (iOS), standalone mode still exists, but you have to implement this
“add to homescreen” prompt yourself.
Scramblers? Are you looking for a way to minimize your JS/CSS file size or to
really encrypt them?
What about eval() ? It’s pretty unpopular those days but surely doing the job.
Or you can just call localStorage as an array.
function init_ldb(fname){
return (fname!=“”)?localStorage[fname].toString():null;
}
But then, “fname” must match your localStorage object name (customers,
products, jobs,...)
