angular-local-storage Dynamically change the storage type from controller itself.

Looking to use both Local Storage as well as Session Storage. Iniitally Configured the module to use 'localstorage' localStorageServiceProvider.setStorageType('localStorage').

But What if I want to session storage somewhere in middle of the application.

There should be some setStorageType function which we can call from controller that dynamically change storage type.

I agree that this would be nice. A workaround might be to set the storage type to localStorage and then do something like this to clear storage when the session ends:

$window.onbeforeunload = function (e) { localStorageService.clearAll(); }

ask for this feature too. I want to store something in the local storage to persistent, but I also want something in session storage that will be deleted when the user close the window. I supports to add some api like set(key, value ,storageType)

Desperately need this too, so cooked up this simple patch.

Right before a set, switch type with either of these: localStorageService.setStorageType('localStorage'); localStorageService.setStorageType('sessionStorage');

or use: set(key, value, storageType)

if storageType omitted, then previous type is used. Use setStorageType to reset, so the default for your project is not disturbed.
