Shared Storage

Shared storage in embedded Experiences

The SDK also supports a shared storage so that the Experience can access a data storage located on your application with ease. You have the option to choose between two types of storage: persistent or in-memory storage. This gives you more flexibility and control over how your users' data is stored.

The Experience won't request the user permission to store data, instead we expect you to set the storage in persistent mode only if you are certain you comply with all regulations required for the countries and regions you operate in.

Affect the level of privacy and security of your users' data by choosing the best way to store it according to your users' preferences.

If you enable persistent storage, the SDK will store data in the local storage of your webpage for JavaScript, or the application's sandbox for Android and iOS. This ensures that data will be available across multiple sessions. However, if you disable persistent storage, data will be stored in memory. This provides faster access but will not be available across multiple sessions.

iOS

// Enable
experienceView.setPersistance(isGranted: true)
// Disable
experienceView.setPersistance(isGranted: false)

Android

// Enable
experienceView.setStoragePersistent(true)
// Disable
experienceView.setStoragePersistent(false)

JavaScript

import { setStoragePersistent } from "@monterosa-sdk/launcher-kit";

// enable persistent storage
setStoragePersistent(true);

// disable persistent storage
setStoragePersistent(false);

Additionally, the SDK will ensure that data is transitioned seamlessly from persistent to in memory and back by copying the data available from memory to disk, and the other way around, so any change in configuration won't result in any data loss during your user's session.
