[jira] [Commented] (CB-155) localStorage does not work with square brace notation

["Patrick Mueller (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-155?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13180424#comment-13180424 ] 

Patrick Mueller commented on CB-155:
------------------------------------

Don't know if WP7 has any tricks up it's sleeve, but as far as I know with JSC and V8, there's no way to "simulate" array accessors like this.  The alternative is for folks to code to the alternate APIs, listed here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Storage ; specifically:

interface Storage {
  DOMString key(in unsigned long index);
  DOMString getItem(in DOMString key);
  void setItem(in DOMString key, in DOMString data);
  void removeItem(in DOMString key);
 }

Note, this still leaves the "length" attribute, which it may be possible to fake with a "getter" property, via Object.defineProperty():

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperty

Usage of Object.__defineGetter__()/__defineSetter__() instead of defineProperty() is probably best avoided, unless that's the only way we can do it with WP7.

> Currently the WP7 localStorage shim works if you use localStorage setItem / getItem methods, however, it fails if you use the square brace notation:
> localStorage["key"] = someValue;
