Apply the form-storage to your HTML form.

You can specify an array of form fields to include or exclude.

    ignores: [],

Create a checkbox to save data before submitting.

<label>
  <input type="checkbox" class="js-persist" />
  Allow saving form-data to localstorage.
</label>

var formStorage = new FormStorage('.js-form',{
    checkbox: '.js-persist'
});

Customize the localstorage name.

var formStorage = new FormStorage('.js-form',{
