FormStorage.js: Save Form State to LocalStorage Automatically

FormStorage is a JavaScript library that serializes and saves web forms to localStorage.

It prevents data loss when users accidentally close tabs or navigate away from pages.

Key features:

  • Auto-saves form data at configurable intervals
  • Restores saved data when users return to the page
  • Works with checkboxes, radio buttons, select elements, and text inputs
  • Integrates with WYSIWYG editors through customizable hooks
  • Handles AJAX form submission with automatic redirects
  • Excludes password and file fields for security
  • Pure vanilla JavaScript with no dependencies

Perfect for blog editors, comment systems, registration forms, and any application where users spend time filling out lengthy forms.
