loadStore (KLOAD)

---

Summary

Load an option store value from a cookie or default value if no prior stored value exists.

Syntax

keyman.interface.loadStore(kbdName, storeName, value);

or

KeymanWeb.KLOAD(kbdName, storeName, value); // Shorthand

Parameters

kbdName

Type: string

The keyboard's identifying internal name.

storeName

Type: string

The option store name that is embedded in the cookie's name.

value

Type: string

A value for the store to use as default if no prior value exists.

Return Value

string

The current value of the store, or the default value provided if the store's value is undefined.

Description

keyman.interface.loadStore() and keyman.interface.saveStore() provide API-based functionality similar to that of the keyboard language's option store. Values will persist across multiple visits to the site by use of cookies. However, these functions cannot interact with stores from existing compiled keyboards due to compilation optimizations. As such, they are most useful for custom-coded web-oriented keyboards.
