An easy way to save data, settings or anything else as JSON file in an application folder, using a simple localStorage-like API, but promisified

electron-data's Issues

some falsey values cause silent failure

passing the following values to ElectronData.set result in no data being written to the json file:

• 0 (number)
• '' (blank string)
• false (boolean)
• null, undefined, NaN (javascript value-absence indicators)

Here's a code example:

let TestData = new ElectronData();
TestData.set('test1',0);
TestData.set('test2','');
TestData.set('test3',false);
TestData.set('test4',null);
TestData.set('test5',undefined);
TestData.set('test6',NaN);
TestData.save();

... which results in data.json containing a blank object: {}

Interestingly enough, the first three values will be recorded if they're passed as new instances of their base types:

let TestData = new ElectronData();
TestData.set('test1',new Number());
TestData.set('test2',new String());
TestData.set('test3',new Boolean());
TestData.save();

result: {"test1":0,"test2":"","test3":false}
