Storage set and accessed through an instance of this class will only live as long as the lifetime you set in the constructor, though it must be at least a day. After that time, it will expire and be deleted when sweepExpiredEntries() is called, which you can schedule with setInterval().

This library has no effect on script storage set directly through GM's setValue() the usual way. Such storage will behave normally.

Example usage:

const persistentStorage = new TTLStorage();
await persistentStorage.ready();
setInterval(() => persistentStorage.sweepExpiredEntries(), 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);

persistentStorage.set("key1", "hello");
const msg = persistentStorage.get("key1");
