Ftakar

A jQuery plugin that saves element data using Local Storage

Ftakar is a small jQuery plugin that I decided to implement as extra functionality to my projects. Even though the plugin idea is simple it adds a considerable amount to the traditional html forms.

Version

1.0.1

Todo

• TEST
• Write better instructions
• Trigger Save
• Trigger Load
• Trigger Delete
• Implement interval save
• Implement data expires
• Implement checkbox save
• Implement radio button save
• Implement select save
• Save forms within uri namespace (can be implemented using the uri in the "savedDataName" setting - { savedDataName: escape( document.location.href ) })

Usage & Installation

1. Import jQuery-1.11.2 or greater
2. Import "sauce/ftakar-version.min.js"
3. '$('input').ftakar();'

Example:

<form>     <input type="text" name="firstname" id="sqphy">     <input type="radio" name="sex" value="male" checked="" id="yzath">Male     <input type="radio" name="sex" value="female" id="ktpwl">Female     <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" id="atrpf">I have a bike     <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car" id="sivcy">I have a car     <input type="date" name="bday" id="mdqgm"     <input type="color" name="favcolor" id="ljwon">     <select id="khupoa">       <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>       <option value="saab">Saab</option>       <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>       <option value="audi">Audi</option>     </select>      <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

$('input, select').not('input[type="submit"]').ftakar({   savedDataName: "ftakar__" + encodeURI(document.location.href),   saveOnChange: true,   clearOnSubmit: true,   expireInMs: 3600000 /* 1 hour */ });
