#278: Async local storage

Visit on Github.

Opened May 1, 2018

Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of:

Further details (optional):

  • I have read and filled out the Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy. The assessment is "No" to all, with the following additional notes:
    • "Does this specification introduce new state for an origin that persists across browsing sessions?" No new state is introduced. However, the existing mechanism of IndexedDB is layered on top of and reused.
    • "Does this specification persist data to a user’s local device?" Yes, using IndexedDB's mechanisms. It follows IndexedDB in its interaction with "clear browsing data" and similar.
    • Unlike IndexedDB, this feature specifically requires a secure context, as it is a new storage API.
  • I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles

You should also know that...

This is designed as a layered API; see #276 for that review request.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

  • open issues in our Github repo for each point of feedback
