._restore

localDataStorage._restore( keyName, [overwriteExistingKey] )

This Memory Key method effectively moves the value of keyName, a localStorage Key, into memory, creating a new Memory Key if necessary. This is the way to restore a previous backup of memory to disk.

The data type is of course respected.

This will overwrite an existing value for keyName when the optional overwriteExistingKey is true (and throw an error when it is not). If this happens, the prior value cannot be retrieved.

The operation verifies the destination Memory Key has been created. Once verified, the localStorage key is deleted.

EXAMPLE:

● localData._restore( 'key1' )

✨ The complement to this is _backup.

📝 NOTE: When a Memory Key session must resume, restore any backed up keys to memory using this method.
