Local storage save

Status: being evaluated

Context and Problem Statement

It be good to be able to save in local storage as the user is editing the text. Some things to define

Is this done inside the component? or does the component return the data and the parent component handles saving to local storage?
how to be able to save multiple transcript for the same editor? eg with a unique id?
perhaps adding time stamps to the saving for versioning?
When loading transcript from server, if it's in local storage should we resume from that one instead?
ignoring multi users scenarios for now.

How often to save

save button?
save on each new char?
save on time interval?

Decision Drivers

simple to reason around
[driver 2, e.g., a force, facing concern, …]

Considered Options

inside component TimedTextEditor
outside React TranscriptEditor component
Debouncing on save (Lodash helper function)

Decision Outcome

Save inside component TimedTextEditor
Save button for local storage
Save on each new char | switch to timer if it effects performance for users
Save on char / multiple of char inputs
Can use "save-on-char" together with time intervals
using url of media as id to save to local storage
add time stamps
When loading transcript from server, if it's in local storage should resume from that one instead

See separate ADR for saving to server.
