This package provides a unified, Factory-based interface for interacting with browser storage (localStorage and IndexedDB). It enforces strict type safety, Runtime Validation, App Autonomy (Inversion of Control), and automatically provides AES encryption at rest for sensitive payloads (like access tokens) using @repo/utils.

🎯 Primary Goals & Architectural Principles

App Autonomy (Inversion of Control): The core storage engine does not know about your application's keys. Consuming applications define their own keys, their own encryptedKeys sets, and their own plainTextKeys sets, injecting them into the factory upon instantiation.
Runtime Gatekeeper (Defensive Programming): The engine validates every setItem, getItem, and removeItem operation. If an app attempts to access a key that wasn't explicitly registered in encryptedKeys or plainTextKeys, the engine will immediately throw a Security Exception to prevent rogue data access/injection.
Dual Backend Strategy:
- createLocalStorage: Ideal for small, synchronous-like data (tokens, user preferences, settings).
- createIndexedDB: Built for large, asynchronous data (offline drafts, cached API responses, large arrays/blobs) bypassing the 5MB localStorage limit.
Security by Default: Developers don't need to manually encrypt/decrypt data. If a key is passed in the encryptedKeys configuration, the engine handles AES encryption transparently.
Corrupt Data Resilience: If parsing or decryption fails (e.g., tampered data or changed encryption keys), the corrupt entry is safely removed and returns null, preventing the app from crashing.

🚀 App-Level Setup & Usage

1. Define App Keys and Instantiate (Inversion of Control)

In your consuming application (e.g., apps/web/src/core/storage/index.ts), define your keys and use the factories to create your instances.

// apps/web/src/core/storage/index.ts
import { createLocalStorage, createIndexedDB } from '@repo/core-storage';

// 1. Define Keys
export const AppStorageKey = {
  USER_PROFILE: 'user_profile',
  ACCESS_TOKEN: 'access_token',
  LOCALE: 'app_locale',
} as const;

export type AppStorageKeyValue = (typeof AppStorageKey)[keyof typeof AppStorageKey];

// 2. Classify Keys
export const ENCRYPTED_KEYS = new Set<AppStorageKeyValue>([
  AppStorageKey.USER_PROFILE,
  AppStorageKey.ACCESS_TOKEN,
]);

export const PLAIN_KEYS = new Set<AppStorageKeyValue>([
  AppStorageKey.LOCALE,
]);

// 3. Instantiate Factories
export const secureStorage = createLocalStorage<AppStorageKeyValue>({ 
  encryptedKeys: ENCRYPTED_KEYS,
  plainTextKeys: PLAIN_KEYS
});

export const secureIndexedDB = createIndexedDB<AppStorageKeyValue>({ 
  dbName: 'eigen_erp_db', 
  storeName: 'web_store', 
  encryptedKeys: ENCRYPTED_KEYS,
  plainTextKeys: PLAIN_KEYS
});

2. Usage in App Components

Now, you can import your locally-created instances anywhere in your app.

import { secureStorage, AppStorageKey } from '@/core/storage';
import type { UserProfile } from '@/types';

// CREATE / UPDATE
// Since USER_PROFILE is in ENCRYPTED_KEYS, it is AES-encrypted automatically.
await secureStorage.setItem(AppStorageKey.USER_PROFILE, {
  id: 1,
  name: 'Firman',
  role: 'admin'
});

// READ (Returns null if not found or if decryption fails)
const profile = await secureStorage.getItem<UserProfile>(AppStorageKey.USER_PROFILE);
if (profile) {
  console.log('Welcome back,', profile.name);
}

// DELETE
await secureStorage.removeItem(AppStorageKey.USER_PROFILE);

3. The Runtime Gatekeeper

If you try to access an unregistered key, the engine protects the app by throwing an error at runtime:

// Throws Error: "[Storage Engine] Security Exception: Key 'rogue_key' is not registered..."
await secureStorage.setItem('rogue_key' as any, 'hacked');

Warning

Migration Hazard: If you move an existing key from plainTextKeys to encryptedKeys (or vice versa), existing users will experience a parsing failure on their next session (because the library expects encrypted data but finds plain text). The resilient parser will catch this and gracefully clear the key, which may effectively log them out or reset their local preference.
