Avoid localStorage shim

[dEEpProjects]

Hello,

I'm using the 5.8.4 version of your fantastic picker.

I have an issue when using your library in environments where localStorage is not available for security reasons. It seems that you perform detection and shim it in case it's inaccessible. However, this has a global effect, and any other code in the same window is no longer aware of the absence of storage.

Could you perform the detection without globally modifying the window.localStorage object?

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about this, I didn't think of that actually. I will try to get this fixed this week.

Hi,

Are there any updates regarding this?

[joeattardi]

Not yet, sorry. Got a lot going on right now.

Please give version 5.8.5 a try, this should be resolved now.

The picker doesn't show anymore in incognito mode.

It throws the following exception:

emojiData.ts:133 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Session storage is required to use CDN emoji data.

I think the fix should involve detecting the unavailability of the storage and mocking the storage in some non-global object.

Unfortunately that's out of my control. That's from a third party library I use, emojibase. When loading emoji data from the CDN, it requires the use of session storage with no way to override it.

The only way around that is to install the emojibase-data package and supply the data statically as described here.
