TabSub offers you an easy to use Javascript PubSub via local storage. No server is required as all messages are shared via the browser built in local storage.

Give the example a try to see what you can build with TabSub.

Is this safe for a lot of concurrent writes? To be honest I have no clue. I tried to break it with 10 concurrent writers and everything worked as expected: No message got lost and the messages where in correct order. No warranty here, use at your own risk 😅

As TabSub uses local store this only works on the same domain, as the browser separates the local storage by domains as security measure.

const ts = new TabSub();

Publish new message. The message can be of any type. Your callback in subscribe has to handle it correctly. TabSub does not take care about that.

ts.publish("hello","world");

Register new listener. Callback is called with the message content if new message arrives

ts.subscribe("hello",(msg)=>{
    console.log("Got msg: ",msg);
});

Get the current (static) state of a topic. Returns the current data in the local storage for this topic

const state = ts.state("hello");
console.log("Current state: ",msg);
