How to store data(ng2Idle.main.expiry) in sessionStorage Instead of localStorage??

[madhujsmg]

I tried to find solution in ng2-idle documents but am not finding satisfactory information ,

The issue with if one browser window is active and other window timeout is not happening

is there any way to store data in session instead of localStorage???

Implement your own provider for storing the data:

import { LocalStorage } from '@ng-idle/core';

export class MyStorage extends LocalStorage {
    constructor() {
        super();
        if (sessionStorage) {
          this['storage'] = sessionStorage;
        }
    }
}

and in your module:

import { LocalStorage } from '@ng-idle/core';
import { MyStorage } from './my-storage';

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    { provide: LocalStorage, useClass: MyStorage },
  ],
})

My personal suggestion to the maintainer of this repo is making the private storage a protected variable in the LocalStorage class.
