Other modules may use localStorage and not store JSON.

It might be simple enough to short circuit when k !== key

Hi, I see this got fixed.

Could you publish to NPM a new version for this fix? :)

[timuric]

Would very much appreciate this fix! :)

[szymn]

@donavon any chance you could publish a new version with this fix to NPM?

[michu2k]

Hi @donavon, so can you publish to NPM a new version with this fix :) ?

[cammanderson]

Hi All, Just +1'ing this for a fix as well. Not sure if we want to make it safer to use try {} catch for added safety also?

[DatChoob]

@donavon Would really appreciate this fix

[smerth]

@donavon, +1 - looking forward to the NPM version with this fix. Thanks for the great hook

1+ broke my app because of this haha

It looks like some nice person has published version 0.3.1 here https://www.npmjs.com/package/@smartrent/use-persisted-state

If you don't want to change your import references to @smartrent/use-persisted-state and you use yarn, you can add it as an alias using the following command:

yarn add use-persisted-state@npm:@smartrent/use-persisted-state

I see this module is not well maintained anymore. You could check out the module I built https://github.com/astoilkov/use-local-storage-state. The good thing is we used it in our production app so maintenance should be solid.
