LocalStorage Observable Error: 'Decorators are not valid here.'

See original GitHub issue

Loving the package so far! Having just a small issue with the LocalStorage decorator.

Attempting to put @LocalStorage('value') within the class (or outside of it) will cause an error.

I looked further into the issue, and saw #https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/8257, so it could possibly be just an issue with typescript compilation?

(feel free to close out the thread if not a valid issue)

Question though: If I change the value through dev tools on the browser, it should detect/observe the change? Or is it only through this.storage.store, that it will detect a change?

Nop it shouldn’t detect changes, you need to call this.storage.store(...) or assign a bound variable this.anAttribute = 'hello'.

Btw, the library includes a cache system, so if you change a value in the storage during a test session, this value will not change in the app. You need to refresh the page after any direct change in the localStorage/sessionStorage to ensure that the lib takes the new value.

Edit: Since v1.4 this is not true anymore.

Lol, it’s working now.

I figured out my issue. I was changing values through the browser dev tools, to see if it observed the changes (it didn’t). But once I implemented some tests using your packages methods, I saw that it did observe the changes. Good to know that it can only detect changes through your methods, and was confused as to if I did something wrong on my end.

Thanks again!
