# @push.rocks/webstore
High performance storage in the browser using IndexedDB.

## Install
To install `@push.rocks/webstore`, use the following npm command:

```bash
npm install @push.rocks/webstore --save
```

This will add it to your project's dependencies.

## Usage
The `@push.rocks/webstore` module provides a high-performance storage solution for web applications, leveraging IndexedDB. This guide demonstrates how to use `@push.rocks/webstore` to store, retrieve, check, and manage data in the browser efficiently.

### Basic Setup
Before using `@push.rocks/webstore`, you must import and instantiate a `WebStore` class. Specify a database name (`dbName`) and a store name (`storeName`) in the options:

```typescript
import { WebStore } from '@push.rocks/webstore';

const myStore = new WebStore<{
  [key: string]: any; // Define the shape of your store objects here
}>({
  dbName: 'myDatabase',
  storeName: 'myStore'
});
```

### Initialization
To ensure that IndexedDB is set up correctly, call the `init` method before executing any CRUD operations:

```typescript
await myStore.init();
```

### Storing Data
To store data, use the `set` method with a key and value. The value can be any object adhering to the store's object shape:

```typescript
await myStore.set('myKey', { some: 'data' });
```

### Retrieving Data
To retrieve data, use the `get` method with a key. This method returns a promise that resolves to the value associated with the key, or `undefined` if the key does not exist:

```typescript
const myData = await myStore.get('myKey');
console.log(myData); // { some: 'data' }
```

### Checking Data Existence
To check whether a key exists in the store, use the `check` method:

```typescript
const exists = await myStore.check('myKey');
console.log(exists); // true or false
```

### Deleting Data
To delete a specific entry, use the `delete` method with a key:

```typescript
await myStore.delete('myKey');
```

### Clearing the Store
To remove all entries from the store, use the `clear` method:

```typescript
await myStore.clear();
```

### Fetching All Keys
To retrieve all keys from the store, use the `keys` method. It returns a promise that resolves to an array of keys:

```typescript
const allKeys = await myStore.keys();
console.log(allKeys); // ['myKey', ...]
```

### Error Handling
One of the strengths of `WebStore` is its built-in error handling using `smartpromise`. All the asynchronous operations (`init`, `get`, `set`, `delete`, `clear`, `keys`) inherently handle errors gracefully by catching them and allowing you to handle them with standard JavaScript try-catch or using `.catch` on the promises.

#### Error Handling Example
In TypeScript, you can write try-catch blocks to handle errors:

```typescript
try {
  await myStore.set('myKey', { some: 'data' });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error storing data:', error);
}

try {
  const myData = await myStore.get('myKey');
  console.log(myData);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error retrieving data:', error);
}
```

### Advanced Features: Typed Request Caching
`@push.rocks/webstore` also includes a feature for caching typed requests using the `TypedrequestCache` class. This is particularly useful for caching API requests and their responses.

#### Setting Up a Typed Request Cache
To set up a `TypedrequestCache`:

```typescript
import { TypedrequestCache } from '@push.rocks/webstore';

const myCache = new TypedrequestCache('domainIdentifier');
```

#### Storing a Request and Its Response
Store a request and its response:

```typescript
await myCache.setByRequest({
  method: 'GET',
  request: 'https://example.com/api/data',
  response: { data: 'response data' }
});
```

#### Retrieving a Cached Request
Retrieve a cached request by making a partial request:

```typescript
const cachedResponse = await myCache.getByRequest({
  method: 'GET',
  request: 'https://example.com/api/data'
});
console.log(cachedResponse); // { data: 'response data' }
```

### Comprehensive Usage Example
Here is a comprehensive example that covers initialization, data manipulation, and error handling:

```typescript
import { WebStore, TypedrequestCache } from '@push.rocks/webstore';

async function main() {
  const myStore = new WebStore<{
    [key: string]: any;
  }>({
    dbName: 'myDatabase',
    storeName: 'myStore',
  });

  try {
    await myStore.init();

    // Set data
    await myStore.set('myKey', { some: 'data' });
    console.log('Data set successfully.');

    // Get data
    const myData = await myStore.get('myKey');
    console.log('Retrieved data:', myData); // { some: 'data' }

    // Check data existence
    const exists = await myStore.check('myKey');
    console.log('Key exists:', exists); // true

    // Delete data
    await myStore.delete('myKey');
    console.log('Data deleted.');

    // Clear store
    await myStore.clear();
    console.log('Store cleared.');

    // Fetch all keys
    const allKeys = await myStore.keys();
    console.log('All keys:', allKeys); // []

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during storage operations:', error);
  }

  // Typed Request Caching
  const myCache = new TypedrequestCache('exampleDomain');

  try {
    await myCache.setByRequest({
      method: 'GET',
      request: 'https://example.com/api/data',
      response: { data: 'response data' }
    });
    console.log('Typed request cached.');

    const cachedResponse = await myCache.getByRequest({
      method: 'GET',
      request: 'https://example.com/api/data'
    });
    console.log('Cached response:', cachedResponse); // { data: 'response data' }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during typed request caching operations:', error);
  }
}

main().catch(console.error);
```

### Conclusion
The `@push.rocks/webstore` package provides a flexible and efficient way to handle browser storage and caching.
