Getting started =============== [](#getting-started) Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) Three quick start options are available: - [Download the latest release](https://github.com/sqginfo/formcache/archive/master.zip). - Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/sqginfo/formcache.git`. - Install with [NPM](http://npmjs.org): `npm install formcache`. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Include files: ``` ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Initializes with `data-toggle="formcache"` attribute [](#initializes-with-data-toggleformcache-attribute) ``` ``` ### Initializes with `$.fn.formcache` method [](#initializes-with-fnformcache-method) ``` ``` ``` $('#form').formcache() ``` Options ------- [](#options) #### key [](#key) - Type: `String` | `Number` - Default: `''` A special identification for the form cache, must be different to other forms in the same page. By default, the form's index in the document will be used as the `key`. #### local [](#local) - Type: `Boolean` - Default: `true` Store cache in localStorage. #### session [](#session) - Type: `Boolean` - Default: `true` Store cache in sessionStorage. #### autoStore [](#autostore) - Type: `Boolean` - Default: `true` Update and store the cache automatically when a form control changed or before page unload. #### maxAge [](#maxage) - Type: `Number` - Default: `undefined` set the stored time (in seconds) of the caches, just like the `max-age` for `cookie`. By default, the session caches will be cleared when the browser closes, and the local caches will be stored all the time. **Notes**: - session caches still will be cleared when the browser closes. - local caches still will be cleared when the browser caches clears. #### controls [](#controls) - Type: `Array` - Default: ``` [ 'select', 'textarea', 'input' ] ``` A jQuery selectors array. Defines the form controls which need to be cached. **Note:** All file inputs will be ignored always by default.

The plugin will do this automatically when a form control changed, or the window unloaded. #### clear() [](#clear) Clear all caches. #### destroy() [](#destroy) Destroy the formcache instance, but keep the caches. If you want to remove all caches, you can call `clear` method first and then call this method.
