    Default Answered: Best practice for data migration in localstorage

    Answered: Best practice for data migration in localstorage


    I have a model that I store in 'localstorage'. The model started out with 4 fields (call it version 1) but over the course of development, I added a couple more fields to it (version 2). I now need to code for the situation where version 2 code encounters version 1 records in 'localstorage'. I refer to this as data migration. What is the best practice to handle this situation in Sencha Touch 2?

    It should ignore those fields and next time you sync you would likely loose that data.

    Technically it should just work. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

    Default adding new fields requires no code changes.

    adding new fields requires no code changes.


    Sounds like appending new fields and keeping the existing fields works with no code change needed. That's good to hear. I guess I haven't encountered a situation yet where I delete one of the existing fields in a record. Will the framework also handle that situation with no code change needed?
