I added the ionic storage 1.1.6 to my app to store user login info in one single field. Hence, after login the app sets and at next login gets the user.
However, this circle works once or twice after fresh App restart but then get fails to get a field on the iOS device (it’s empty) and forwards to my login screen again.
What default engine is used in storage? Mind you I have the default version of storage - v1.1.6 installed and not the one described on the tutorial page, which seems to be 1.1.7 where you can select the storage engine. I think I will try sqlite for now. Since I am porting my app from io1 to io2, I used localstorage previously and that worked flawlessly (except random localstorage wipes by the os of course)
return Observable.fromPromise(
this._storage.get('user').then( userString => {
//returns user object or null when user is not set.
this.userInfo = JSON.parse(userString);
return this.userInfo;
})
);
let userString = '{"email":"'+email+'","password":"'+password+'"}';
try {
JSON.parse(userString);
this._storage.set('user', userString);
return true;
}catch(err){
console.log('Error adding user - JSON was corrupted. Abort');
return false;
}
Any chance you’re hitting a race condition whereby sometimes the async read from storage has completed before you try to use it and sometimes it hasn’t?
Yes, something like that. I think the storage plugin is not initiated when the first access to the plugin is called. Hence I am getting null.
Is there a way to wait for that event?
I found Storage.ready in the storage source-code, but it is available for 1.1.7 , not for 1.1.6 as it seems. I think that should be it.
My custom console.logs
IN getLocalUser
null #result of DB request in getLocaUser
START USER CHECK
null #return value of getLocalUser
fire before the SQLitePlugin initializes

Yes, it was the race condition as you mentioned. I could resolve it with installing storage v1.1.7 and use the Storage.ready promise.
