WebStorage proxy can't deal with associated data

[juhovh]

Unfortunate, but luckily I already got my workaround stabilized pretty well in my use case. Most importantly you guys are communicating and telling us what's going on behing the scenes, and not just silently dropping features from the release. Thank you for doing that!

Does anyone have a good example of a workaround for this?

[Rui Marinho]

Any update on this issue?

What we plan on doing is creating an example shortly after GA that shows you how you can work around this temporarily until a more permanent solution will be part of the core code base.

When the above mentioned example will be available? It would be quite useful to get a workaround for this.

Creating beautiful views and components is so easy with Sencha Touch. I also love the idea of web pages that behave like apps and include offline functionality. The documentation suggests that I can specify a store (with a localstorage proxy and autoLoad:true, autoSync:true) for an associated model, but it does not work as expected.

I've had a hard time hacking together a fix (for over a month now), and it doesn't seem to be a top priority for the Sencha Touch team (see TommyMaintz's comment from Feb 22). So, my question is: what is the recommended approach for storing associated models locally using ST2?

This is going to be fully supported in 2.1.0. There is quite a bit of work needed in Associations in general that needs to be in place to support this. An added benefit is going to be the inclusion of WebSQL support as well.

@Jamie, thanks for your response. I am super excited to hear about the new support in Sencha Touch 2.1.0. Now I just have to find what the upper size limit is for storing data in WebSQL (hopefully more than the 2.5mb that localStorage offers).

The localstorage WebSQL on iOS/Webkit has a 50 MB limitation but needs a request to upsize vom 5 MB zo 50 MB:

If you connect to a SQLite database without WebSQL (for example via Phonegap) there is no limitation:

I had high hopes that we'd see ST 2.1 in May, but that seems less and less likely every day. Is the Sencha team prepared to share a release date for the initial PR? 2nd quarter? 3rd quarter?

Sencha Touch is outstanding already, so I certainly don't mean to complain. I only ask because storing and retrieving associated model data is a dependency for much of my app's functionality. If there a patch I can apply now, it would be much appreciated.

We wasted a lot of time due to this bug. Please can someone add this bug to the documentation for 2.0X
