Secure Storage Key Value Store

The Secure Storage plugin has a Key Value storage API called KeyValueStorage that makes securely storing data on a mobile device easier.

KeyValueStorage was added in v2.3.0 of the Secure Storage plugin and has the advantage of not depending on @ionic/storage, localForage or @ionic/storage-angular.

This sample application uses KeyValueStorage in a real world scenario where it is used to allow the app to work offline by storing API results when online and returning cached data stored on the device when offline.

• data-storage.service.ts - This service reads and writes values using Secure Storage's KeyValueStorage. It will also clear stored data if the wrong encryption key is used.
• cache.service.ts - This service handles caching from observables from HttpClient emitting cached or fresh data.
• api.service.ts - This service handles requests to get data from the Star Wars API and uses CacheService.

Note

The sample application has its encrpytion key hardcoded in code. This is not secure and you should securely generate and store an encryption key using a plugin like Idenity Vault or obtain the encryption key via your backend.
