#Garlic.js

Garlic.js allows you to automatically persist your forms' text and select field values locally, until the form is submitted. This way, your users don't lose any precious data if they accidentally close their tab or browser.

#Demonstration / Documentation

http://garlicjs.org/

#Version

1.2.3

See CHANGELOG for more info.

#TODO

• Improve doc and api;
• Refactorize some code;
• Work on inputs radio and textarea where there are conflicts;
• And much more, for fun!

#Run tests

• In your browser: go to tests/index.html
• Headless tests: install mocha-phantomjs with npm: npm install -g mocha-phantomjs and then run ./bin/test-suite.sh

#Make production minified versions

You'll need ruby, and Google Closure compiler: gem install closure-compiler. Then, just call:

./bin/build.sh version where version is the build release. eg: ./bin/build.sh 1.1.2

They'll be created and dumped in the dist/ directory
