Calculating usage of localStorage space

Question

I am creating an app using the Bespin editor and HTML5\'s localStorage. It stores all files locally and helps with grammar, uses JSLint and some other parsers for CSS and HT

Answer 1

This might help somebody. In chrome is possible to ask the user to allow to use more disk space if needed:

// Request Quota (only for File System API)  
window.webkitStorageInfo.requestQuota(PERSISTENT, 1024*1024, function(grantedBytes) {
  window.webkitRequestFileSystem(PERSISTENT, grantedBytes, onInitFs, errorHandler); 
}, function(e) {
  console.log('Error', e); 
});
