##Get Started
**(1)** You can install angular-local-storage using 3 different ways:<br/>
**Git:**
clone & build [this](https://github.com/grevory/angular-local-storage.git) repository<br/>
**Bower:**
```bash
$ bower install angular-local-storage --save
```
**npm:**
```bash
$ npm install angular-local-storage
```
**(2)** Include `angular-local-storage.js` (or `angular-local-storage.min.js`) from the [dist](https://github.com/grevory/angular-local-storage/tree/master/dist) directory in your `index.html`, after including Angular itself.

**(3)** Add `'LocalStorageModule'` to your main module's list of dependencies.

When you're done, your setup should look similar to the following:

```html
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>

</head>
<body>
    ...
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="bower_components/js/angular-local-storage.min.js"></script>
    ...
    <script>
        var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['LocalStorageModule']);

    </script>
    ...
</body>
</html>
```
##Configuration
###setPrefix
You could set a prefix to avoid overwriting any local storage variables from the rest of your app<br/>
**Default prefix:** `ls.<your-key>`
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setPrefix('yourAppName');
});
```
###setStorageType
You could change web storage type to localStorage or sessionStorage<br/>
**Default storage:** `localStorage`
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageType('sessionStorage');
});
```
###setDefaultToCookie
If localStorage is not supported, the library will default to cookies instead. This behavior can be disabled.<br/>
**Default:** `true`
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setDefaultToCookie(false);
});
```
###setStorageCookie
Set cookie options (usually in case of fallback)<br/>
**expiry:** number of days before cookies expire (0 = session cookie). **default:** `30`<br/>
**path:** the web path the cookie represents. **default:** `'/'`<br/>
**secure:** whether to store cookies as secure. **default:** `false`
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookie(45, '<path>', false);
});
```
###setStorageCookieDomain
Set the cookie domain, since this runs inside a the `config()` block, only providers and constants can be injected.  As a result, `$location` service can't be used here, use a hardcoded string or `window.location`.<br/>
**No default value**
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setStorageCookieDomain('<domain>');
});
```

For local testing (when you are testing on localhost) set the domain to an empty string ''. Setting the domain to 'localhost' will not work on all browsers (eg. Chrome) since some browsers only allow you to set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e. something ending in .com or so, but not IPs **or intranet hostnames** like localhost. </br>

###setNotify

Configure whether events should be broadcasted on $rootScope for each of the following actions:<br/>
**setItem** , default: `true`, event "LocalStorageModule.notification.setitem"<br/>
**removeItem** , default: `false`, event "LocalStorageModule.notification.removeitem"
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setNotify(true, true);
});
```
###Configuration Example
Using all together
```js
myApp.config(function (localStorageServiceProvider) {
  localStorageServiceProvider
    .setPrefix('myApp')
    .setStorageType('sessionStorage')
    .setNotify(true, true)
});
```
##API Documentation
##isSupported
Checks if the browser support the current storage type(e.g: `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`).
**Returns:** `Boolean`
```js
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  if(localStorageService.isSupported) {
    //...
  }
  //...
});
```
###getStorageType
**Returns:** `String`
```js
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  var storageType = localStorageService.getStorageType(); //e.g localStorage
  //...
});
```
You can also dynamically change storage type by passing the storage type as the last parameter for any of the API calls. For example: `localStorageService.set(key, val, "sessionStorage");`
###set
Directly adds a value to local storage.<br/>
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.<br/>

myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  function submit(key, val) {
   return localStorageService.set(key, val);
  }
  //...
});
```
###get
Directly get a value from local storage.<br/>
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.<br/>
**Returns:** `value from local storage`
```js
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {
  //...
  function getItem(key) {
   return localStorageService.get(key);
  }
  //...
});
```
###keys
Return array of keys for local storage, ignore keys that not owned.<br/>
**Returns:** `value from local storage`
```js
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {

  var lsKeys = localStorageService.keys();
  //...
});
```
###remove
Remove an item(s) from local storage by key.<br/>
If local storage is not supported, use cookies instead.<br/>

```js
myApp.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, localStorageService) {

  function removeItem(key) {
   return localStorageService.remove(key);

  }
});
```
###clearAll
