Vaadin BrowserStorage Add-on

Adds server-side logic and a JavaScript file to allow usage of local and session storage on the client's browser from server-side Vaadin code.

This add-on should be forward-compatible up to Vaadin 23 and 24. Tested working with Vaadin 24.

Usage

The API for SessionStorage and LocalStorage are identical, and have been mapped to the Storage object API as returning completable futures, with the addition of a "contains key" function to potentially save on bandwidth, as follows:

CompletableFuture<Boolean> containsKey(String key);
CompletableFuture<String> getItem(String key);
CompletableFuture<Boolean> setItem(String key, String value);
CompletableFuture<Boolean> removeItem(String key);
CompletableFuture<Boolean> clear();

The returned boolean for setItem, removeItem and clear can safely be ignored for now; it is reserved for future use.

To access SessionStorage or LocalStorage, create an instance of them:

LocalStorage localStorage = new LocalStorage();
localStorage.setItem("foo", "bar");

Because the objects need to bind to a specific UI. In complex codebases, you may want to use the explicit constructor:

UI myUI = UI.getCurrent();
LocalStorage localStorage = new LocalStorage(myUI);
localStorage.setItem("foo", "bar");

The above examples are equivalent - the default constructor uses UI.getCurrent() internally to store a UI reference.
