    Simple data persistence for your Electron app or module - Save and load user preferences, app state, cache, etc

    I've seen electron-store, but it seems to be a volatile store. Each time I open the app, it seems I must create a new Store(). The doc explains clearly how to perform crud operation in a new store, but not how to retrieve existing data when re-opening the app 10 days later. If the lib can actually do it, how to do so?
