TPE DOM/Storage

Introduction

Over the years the web has grown various APIs that can be used for storage, e.g. IndexedDB, localStorage, cache API, but it's lack of a means for managing storage across different APIs easily. This project aims at providing a unified architecture for storage on the web so that these APIs could honor the same rule. In addition, this project is to enable applications to more effectively manage their storage.

Roadmap

Storage management MVP, aka v1 (basked on Storage spec v1) - platform tasks

• Milestone 1: estimate() API
  • Target milestone: ship to Firefox 52
    • estimate() landed in 51 (pref-off on release build), waiting for SecureContext support for Workers to be able to ship
• Milestone 2: persistent-storage permission, persist() and persisted() APIs
  • Target milestone: Firefox 53
  • Checking point: 2016 August
• Milestone 3: internal interfaces to support UI display

Some possible ideas about Storage management v2 (this is changing all the time ;) )

• Smart filtering algorithm to decrease pop-up interference
• Integrating storage types into QuotaManager
