Add local_storage

[sfc-gh-jcarroll]

Add a local_storage extra for easier interaction with browser localStorage

It's still a bit buggy at times, I get periodic "app resets" (the session_state still exists but widget values get reset) which I can't explain. Like everything gets unmounted. May have to do with the way st_js updates very quickly and some race condition.

I've tried this to test in an application for my own testing, and I think it would be useful for your reference before this is merged:

• Application name: Supabase-Streamlit Google OAuth

• Repository: https://github.com/bhargavmodak/streamlit-google-oauth

• Deployment on Streamlit Community Cloud: https://bhargav-supa-stgouth-demo.streamlit.app/

• Related issue: Streamlit Issue #8158: [Feedback requested!] Proposal - Native authentication support for Streamlit

---

How to test:

You can either log-in directly with the above deployment (or clone and deploy yourself).

Note

The Google OAuth Consent screen has to be opened in a new tab. This is related to Streamlit Issue #7123: Link redirect. Read more about how I did it in Chapter 2 of the repo above.

1. After logging in, you should be redirected to the /auth route of the app above. Here I try to save the google session token pair into local storage.
   1. Check the local storage as it processes. You should see st_localstorage_g_session.
2. Issue 1 occurs here.
3. If you go into an infinite loop, reload the page. Then it works.
4. Once you log in, you can look around the app. The /auth route is hidden.
5. Try to log out.
6. Issue 2 occurs here.

Issues

ISSUE 1

The processing goes into an infinite loop even if the data has been set in local storage.

• Check auth.py to see that to prevent the infinite rerun, I check if the data was saved to google storage.
• The processing is completed in local deployment (localhost:8501). I added delay to test it via Github Codespaces, and a delay of 0.5 via time.sleep() seemed to work on the Github Codespaces deployment of streamlit, but doesn't work in the app above.
• Need to test with more delays, but I am skeptical if it would work.

ISSUE 2

When logging out, it says 'Bad message format : Bad 'setIn' index # (should be between [0, 1])

• However, sometimes, for unknown reasons, it does manage to log out.
• Check out the show_logout() function in utils.py
• The logout functionality works in (localhost:8501).

I'm assuming both issues are occurring due to the local storage. I've implemented it at st_local_storage.py.
