Persist cookies + localStorage plugin

[kangoo13]

Hello everybody,

The ways to retrieve new cookies/localStorage are a bit tricky but I didn't find any other better solution, yet.

If you have any idea do not hesitate I can implement them.

The plugin is available here meanwhile the PR is merged :
https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-extra-plugin-session-persistence

This is my first code on TypeScript I am not really used to it, do not hesitate to tell me how can I improve this code !

If you want, here is some code for IndexedDB: https://github.com/clouedoc/puppeteer-extra-plugin-session/blob/master/src/providers/indexedDb.ts

1. Do not use tslint; use ESLint with typescript-eslint instead. This is because TSLint is now deprecated. Rush Stack has a great starter ESLint file.
2. Polling might be a bit aggressive
3. IIRC NodeJS 20 has a built-in testing tool
4. Storage engines feel out of scope. The responsibility is better left to the user, or there will be complaints in GitHub issues. Of course, that's only my opinion; I appreciate the value of having storage engines available out-of-the-shelf 🙂

todo: make a PR to puppeteer-extra to change the PluginData interface, name and value should not be an object but any instead.

No, it should be unknown to force the developer to do a type assertion.anys are to be avoided at all costs. Every time you commit an any, a developer at the end of the world gets depression.
To learn this kind of stuff, I highly recommend the book Efficient TypeScript

In this specific case, you should have created an interface with the structure of how your plugin options should look like.

In any case, enormous props for submitting your code 🙂
