Updating values outside of the addon

[RobbieTheWagner]

I am having some issues where if I change localStorage manually, outside of Ember, then get the property with storageFor it does not update the values. Is there a way to notify the addon that things changed? I assumed storageFor would be doing basically localStorage.getItem but it appears to be getting old values.

Hey @rwwagner90
that is actually a good question. storageFor handles a proxy that probably doesn't get notified about the change. Can you provide an example? Is it an object or array?
I would have assumed that the event listener takes care of this but it's been always a bit buggy. So maybe we can figure this out now.

@fsmanuel it was an object. For example, I had storage:foo and since localStorage doesn't support objects I did like:

const foo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('storage:foo'));
foo.bar = 'baz';
localStorage.setItem('storage:foo', JSON.stringify(foo));
