    AMD. Register as an anonymous module.

          define(["underscore","backbone"], function(_, Backbone) {

    Use global variables if the locals are undefined.

            return factory(_ || root._, Backbone || root.Backbone);
          });

    RequireJS isn’t being used. Assume underscore and backbone are loaded in script tags

          factory(_, Backbone);
       }
    }(this, function(_, Backbone) {

    A simple module to replace Backbone.sync with localStorage-based persistence. Models are given GUIDS, and saved into a JSON object. Simple as that.

  • §

    Hold reference to Underscore.js and Backbone.js in the closure in order to make things work even if they are removed from the global namespace

    Generate four random hex digits.

    function S4() {
       return (((1+Math.random())*0x10000)|0).toString(16).substring(1);
    };
  • §

    Generate a pseudo-GUID by concatenating random hexadecimal.

    function guid() {
       return (S4()+S4()+"-"+S4()+"-"+S4()+"-"+S4()+"-"+S4()+S4()+S4());
    };

    Our Store is represented by a single JS object in localStorage. Create it with a meaningful name, like the name you’d give a table. window.Store is deprecated, use Backbone.LocalStorage instead

    Backbone.LocalStorage = window.Store = function(name) {
      this.name = name;
      var store = this.localStorage().getItem(this.name);
      this.records = (store && store.split(",")) || [];
    };
    
    _.extend(Backbone.LocalStorage.prototype, {

    Save the current state of the Store to localStorage.

      save: function() {
        this.localStorage().setItem(this.name, this.records.join(","));
      },
  • §

    Add a model, giving it a (hopefully)-unique GUID, if it doesn’t already have an id of it’s own.

      create: function(model) {
        if (!model.id) {
          model.id = guid();
          model.set(model.idAttribute, model.id);
        }
        this.localStorage().setItem(this.name+"-"+model.id, JSON.stringify(model));
        this.records.push(model.id.toString());
        this.save();
        return this.find(model);
      },
  • §

    Update a model by replacing its copy in this.data.

      update: function(model) {
        this.localStorage().setItem(this.name+"-"+model.id, JSON.stringify(model));
        if (!_.include(this.records, model.id.toString()))
          this.records.push(model.id.toString()); this.save();
        return this.find(model);
      },
  • §

    Retrieve a model from this.data by id.

      find: function(model) {
        return this.jsonData(this.localStorage().getItem(this.name+"-"+model.id));
      },
  • §

    Return the array of all models currently in storage.

      findAll: function() {
        return _(this.records).chain()
          .map(function(id){
            return this.jsonData(this.localStorage().getItem(this.name+"-"+id));
          }, this)
          .compact()
          .value();
      },
  • §

    Delete a model from this.data, returning it.

      destroy: function(model) {
        if (model.isNew())
          return false
        this.localStorage().removeItem(this.name+"-"+model.id);
        this.records = _.reject(this.records, function(id){
          return id === model.id.toString();
        });
        this.save();
        return model;
      },
    
      localStorage: function() {
        return localStorage;
      },

    fix for “illegal access” error on Android when JSON.parse is passed null

      jsonData: function (data) {
          return data && JSON.parse(data);
      }
    
    });

    localSync delegate to the model or collection’s localStorage property, which should be an instance of Store. window.Store.sync and Backbone.localSync is deprecated, use Backbone.LocalStorage.sync instead

    Backbone.LocalStorage.sync = window.Store.sync = Backbone.localSync = function(method, model, options) {
      var store = model.localStorage || model.collection.localStorage;
    
      var resp, errorMessage, syncDfd = $.Deferred && $.Deferred(); //If $ is having Deferred - use it.
    
      try {
    
        switch (method) {
          case "read":
            resp = model.id != undefined ? store.find(model) : store.findAll();
            break;
          case "create":
            resp = store.create(model);
            break;
          case "update":
            resp = store.update(model);
            break;
          case "delete":
            resp = store.destroy(model);
            break;
        }
    
      } catch(error) {
        if (error.code === DOMException.QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR && window.localStorage.length === 0)
          errorMessage = "Private browsing is unsupported";
        else
          errorMessage = error.message;
      }
    
      if (resp) {
        model.trigger("sync", model, resp, options);
        if (options && options.success)
          options.success(resp);
        if (syncDfd)
          syncDfd.resolve(resp);
    
      } else {
        errorMessage = errorMessage ? errorMessage
                                    : "Record Not Found";
    
        if (options && options.error)
          options.error(errorMessage);
        if (syncDfd)
          syncDfd.reject(errorMessage);

    add compatibility with $.ajax always execute callback for success and error

      if (options && options.complete) options.complete(resp);
    
      return syncDfd && syncDfd.promise();
    };
    
    Backbone.ajaxSync = Backbone.sync;
    
    Backbone.getSyncMethod = function(model) {
      if(model.localStorage || (model.collection && model.collection.localStorage)) {
        return Backbone.localSync;
      }
    
      return Backbone.ajaxSync;
    };

    Override ‘Backbone.sync’ to default to localSync, the original ‘Backbone.sync’ is still available in ‘Backbone.ajaxSync’

    Backbone.sync = function(method, model, options) {
      return Backbone.getSyncMethod(model).apply(this, [method, model, options]);
    };
    
    return Backbone.LocalStorage;
    }));
