I'd really love the ability to save everything locally

[Yoric]

As a Firefox Nightly user, I update Firefox every day and I cleanup my cookies, localStorage, indexedDB.
I'd really love the ability to save everything to a big JSON and reload it manually.

Hey!

Does firefox clean your localstorage automatically or do you do that manually ? just wondering out of curiosity.

I think this could go well with the idea of using Fari to generate campaigns and exporting them as a big blob to share publically on the web.

I'll add this to the backlog since I feel like there's other people who might find this useful

Nah, that's just my settings.

Happy to contribute on this feature if someone can tell me where to start!

The project is written in Typescript + React.

The export import logic is located here: https://github.com/fariapp/fari/blob/3b4d2894aed52f8d8944856f5e9056d54bebce39/lib/domains/FariEntity/FariEntity.ts#L7-L13

and used in what I call the Character/SceneManager: https://github.com/fariapp/fari/blob/0a282608d5dc5d552e080f409723ad4a245ed778/lib/components/CharactersManager/CharactersManager.tsx#L58-L90

I think that something cool we could do is a global /export route where you select everything you want to export using checkboxes or things like that and a global /import page that can import this file.

I separated the export mechanism in what I call "fariType" and this "global export" to me feels like a new entity type like global or something.

As a first version we could have a page with a big download button that exports everything and another page with a big import button which imports this type of file. (see AppRouter.tsx for creating pages)

Later down the line, we could give the ability to users to select which campaign they want to export or something.

I created a proper epic for this #222

Just an FYI that there's a 🚧 BETA 🚧 data manager available at https://fari.app/data

Be warned that it hasn't been fully teste, might contain bugs could corrupt your data.

I tested it, and it seemed fine but still wanted to write a warning message just in case.
