ngStorage causes digests through entire application

[gildebrand]

I just discovered after some thorough searching in my application that this plugin causes ~10 digests per second. This makes our application feel slow in some parts, and we would really like to get rid of this. I tried commenting out the referenced line, and then our application got way faster.

Why is this line necessary, and what can we do about it? I guess that this is were data is actually persisted, since it's name infers that it's doing some kind of internal digest.

ngStorage/ngStorage.js

Lines 206 to 208 in b8054d4

	$rootScope.$watch(function() {
	_debounce || (_debounce = $timeout($storage.$apply, 100, false));
	});

I ran into the same issue. Maybe it's much more efficient to use object getters and setters or Proxy?

To solve this issue you can use $evalAsync instead of $apply .
