Have the use case to save app settings to be restore after startup/reset and decided to use .boot0.

This is the snippet I started with:

var defaults = { a:1, b:2, c:3 };
var s = require('Storage');
if (s.read('.boot0') === undefined) {
       s.write('.boot0',`var settings = ${JSON.stringify(defaults)}`);
       settings = defaults;
  }

print(settings);

// add  function to update `.boot0` if settings change ....

How do you save your app settings?

Hi! i made a simple localStorage module to save my settings, maybe can help you
This is a quick example on how to use it:

var localStorage = require("localStorage").getInstance();

var settingsObject = localStorage.getObject('settings');
if (!settingsObject) {
console.log("setting not exists");
//here's how to set
localStorage.setObject('settings', { 'ssid': 'blablabla', 'password': 'blablabla' });
}
else {
console.log(settingsObject);
//use the settings
}

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
