Add JSON support to localStorageSync component
What does this MR do?
It adds a new prop (- json) - to the localStorageSync component.
When it's set to true it will serialize and de-serialize the passed -in value, when storing or retrieving from local-storage respectively before committing it to local-storage, and de-serialize after retrieval.
This will allow to use v-model to be used with non-string values, aslike demonstrated in this example: !42940 (diffs)
This is a non-breaking change and should not affect the current behaviour of localStorageSync
