Subject: webstaff: start teaching egHatch about sessionStorage
X-Git-Url: https://old-git.evergreen-ils.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5659abd8176bbb318611ac2d7acc32a46fc65d8;p=working%2FEvergreen.git

webstaff: start teaching egHatch about sessionStorage

This patch adds getSessionItem(), setSessionItem(), and
removeSessionItem(), which are all wrappers around
$window.sessionStorage. This is done to support settings
whose values are sticky for the duration of a session,
which at present is the lifetime of the browser tab.

An alternative would be using session cookies; some user
testing is needed to see which lifetime makes the most
sense.
