  • client-web-storage

    Powerful Web Application Data Storage and State Management Solution.

  • ClientWebStorage: this is a wrapper on LocalForage — which means it inherits all its benefits —, but takes to a whole new level your data storage needs to also be your preferred application state manager. It is asynchronous, event-driven, schema-based, handles data defaults and type checks for you, allows for data action subscription and interception to handle side effects, and integrates nicely with the backend server for continuous data synchronization. It also can be used as a state management solution for any UI framework like React and Angular.

  • localForage

    💾 Offline storage, improved. Wraps IndexedDB, WebSQL, or localStorage using a simple but powerful API.

  • LocalForage: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB, WebSQL, LocalStorage, and SessionStorage with a way to define more interfaces (called drivers) *for additional storage solutions. It does a great job handling all your serialization needs, it is **asynchronous **and handles a large set of data types. Its **API resembles Web Storage API* and it is ridiculously simple to learn.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Dexie.js

    A Minimalistic Wrapper for IndexedDB

  • If you are just looking for a solution for your IndexedDB needs I find Dexie to be one of the best but depending on other needs, the others in the list are also good to consider.
