Ruby Tip

You can index by a hash by each record’s unique ID using the Rails Enumerable method: index_by.

Convert an enumerable to a hash.

Example

Workorder.all.index_by(&:id)

Constructor

Initialize a new model class. If no localStorage table (key) is available one is created when the below code is parsed:

var Workorder = new Model('workorders');

Find

The following will return the referenced object that belongs to its associated ID:

Workorder.find(101);

Where

The following will return all workorders where the created_at date is less than the decalred date variable.

var date = new Date();
Workorder.where({name:"MichaelMinter",age:28,created_at:date,admin:true},{created_at:'<'})

Variable Types

String utilizes Regex. Because the lookups are an object you cannot use something like: {description:"a",description:"b"} but you can do {description:"[a-b]"}
Numbers will only search literal integeral values. A variable string type, “1” is not the same as the variable number type, 1.
Object is exclusive to dates and an option object {due_date:">"} is required to evaluaute references.
Boolean will only search literal boolean values. So {notifications:true} is not the same as {notifications:"true"}.
Null will return any empty, or null, values. null is not the same as "".

Extends Storage

if (window.Storage){
  Storage.prototype.setObject = function(key, value) {
    "use strict";
    this.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value));
  };

  Storage.prototype.getObject = function(key) {
    "use strict";
    var value = this.getItem(key);
    return value && JSON.parse(value);
  };
} else {
  alert('localStorage is not supported on this browser')
}
