TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

[asparkam]

When i try to use localstorage in my isomorphic app:

const localStoraged = createLocalStorage();
localStorage.setItem("key", "12321321");

In sever console is:

path.js:7
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined
    at assertPath (path.js:7:11)
    at Object.dirname (path.js:695:5)
    at resolve (path\to\project\server.js:65280:22)

Searching for this issue shows widespread problems with different libraries where path strings are being asserted instead of returning empty string if null. Suggestions were to downgrade to Node 5 or 4 from 6 (I do not wish to so this).

Thanks for report. Probably, It seem that app-root-path return undefined. This is a bug. I will look into it.

You can avoid this issue by storeFilePath options.

const localStoraged = createLocalStorage({ 
     storeFilePath: __dirname + "/local-storage"
});
localStorage.setItem("key", "12321321");
