ember-localforage-adapter
An Ember Data adapter that enables offline data storage using Mozilla's localForage library.
What is ember-localforage-adapter?
Ember Data Localforage Adapter is an Ember.js addon that provides offline data persistence for Ember Data models by integrating Mozilla's localForage as a storage backend. It replaces traditional localStorage adapters with a more robust solution that uses asynchronous storage via IndexedDB or WebSQL where available, while maintaining a simple API. This enables Ember.js applications to work without an internet connection by storing data locally in the browser.
Ember.js developers building web applications that require offline functionality or local data persistence, such as progressive web apps (PWAs) or applications needing to cache data for performance. It is specifically useful for those already using Ember Data who need a cross-browser compatible storage adapter.
Developers choose this adapter over alternatives because it leverages localForage for asynchronous, cross-browser storage with automatic fallbacks (IndexedDB, WebSQL, localStorage), ensuring broader compatibility and better performance than localStorage alone. It also offers configurable caching and namespace support, integrating seamlessly with Ember Data's features like embedded records.
