Coordinate Widget and localStorage - is it configurable?

yuruiology — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 17:04:46 GMT

Hi - I've noticed that the Coordinate Widget uses localStorage to save its state - however, for some reason it uses the current path as part of the `key`. This is causing a problem for us because the url in our app changes very often, as a result, the widget is creating tons of records in localStorage very quickly.

Is this behavior configurable? Is it possible to either make it use a fixed key, or store the state in `sessionStorage` instead? (at least the records will be cleared after the session ends).

Thanks!

Hi yuruiology, thanks for posting here. Unfortunately, I don't know of a workaround for this issue at this time. However, this sounds like a valid enhancement for the CoordinateConversion widget. We will consider this for a future release, and I'll update this thread when we get something installed.

Hi @yuruiology, we have an update to share. The widget has been updated to make use of sessionStorage. This will be available at the next release (4.20), in late June or early July.
