Svelte Use Persist

Overview:

The Svelte-use-persist is a Svelte action that allows users to save forms and inputs client-side to local storage and automatically restores them on page load. This action is particularly useful for long forms where users may want to save their progress and come back to complete it later without losing any data.

Features:

• Persist any form or inputs to local storage or your own stores
• Restore forms and inputs on page load automatically
• Supports various input types including text, email, tel, date, number, checkbox, radio, password, textarea, and select

Installation:

To install the Svelte-use-persist theme, follow these steps:

1. Copy the package using npm install svelte-use-persist
2. Import the package into your Svelte component using import { usePersist } from 'svelte-use-persist'
3. Create a form or input element in your Svelte component
4. Add the use:persist action to the form or input element
5. Provide a unique key property to identify the form or input in local storage
6. Make sure all inputs in the form have a name attribute to identify them in local storage

Sample code:

import { usePersist } from 'svelte-use-persist';

// Form example
<form>
  <input type="text" name="username" use:persist={{/* key: 'form-username' */}}>
  <input type="password" name="password" use:persist={{/* key: 'form-password' */}}>
  ...
</form>

// Input example
<input type="text" name="firstname" use:persist={{/* key: 'input-firstname' */}}>

Summary:

Svelte-use-persist is a convenient Svelte action that enables users to save and restore forms and inputs on page load using local storage. It eliminates the need for users to re-enter data in long forms and enhances the user experience. This action can be easily installed and configured in Svelte projects, making it a valuable tool for developers working on form-intensive applications.
