Question 1

How do I use Stokado with localForage?

Accepted Answer

Install both libraries, then create a proxy instance with `createProxyStorage(localForage, 'name')`. Since localForage is async, use `await` for operations, as shown in the README example with `await (local.test = 'value')`.

Question 2

Can Stokado store and execute functions correctly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the serializer supports function types. You can store a function like `storage.test = function() { return 'hello'; }` and retrieve it with `storage.test()` working as expected, per the README example.

Question 3

How to set an expiration date for items in Stokado?

Accepted Answer

Use the `setExpires` method with a key and expires parameter (string, number, or Date). For example, `storage.setExpires('key', '2024-12-31')` sets the item to expire on that date, and you can check with `getExpires`.

Question 4

Stokado vs native localStorage: which is better for caching?

Accepted Answer

Stokado enhances localStorage with expiration settings and type serialization, making it better for structured caching. However, native localStorage is lighter if you only need basic key-value storage without extra features.

Question 5

How to listen for changes on nested objects in Stokado?

Accepted Answer

Subscribe using dot notation like `obj.a` or array indices like `list[0]` in the `on` method. The callback receives new and old values, allowing fine-grained reactivity for complex data structures.

Question 6

Does Stokado work with sessionStorage out of the box?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can proxy sessionStorage with `createProxyStorage(sessionStorage)`. It inherits all Stokado features like syntax sugar and subscriptions, but note that sessionStorage doesn't sync across pages by default.

Question 7

How to handle errors or invalid data in Stokado?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify error handling, so it relies on the underlying storage's mechanisms. For robustness, wrap operations in try-catch blocks, especially with async storages like localForage to manage potential failures.
