Ionic Storage v3 has been released as an open-source library designed to simplify data storage in Ionic applications across platforms such as iOS, Android, and the Web by automatically selecting the optimal storage engine. Originally built with Angular support, the updated version now extends compatibility to React, Vue, and any JavaScript project, enhancing its appeal and usability for a broader developer audience. Key changes include the removal of the localforage-cordovaSQLiteDriver dependency, the introduction of the create() function replacing the manual promises-based ready() function, and the addition of Secure Storage integration for encryption support. The update also resolves over 30 issues to improve the plugin's stability, while maintaining the core API functionality to ensure minimal migration effort from version 2.x. Developers are encouraged to leverage the new version for apps with varying storage needs, while guidance is provided on selecting between Ionic Storage, Capacitor Storage, and Ionic Secure Storage based on specific application requirements.
