Recover default value

[MrAmericanMike]

I know the "get" method has an argument that is the default value to return in case the item doesn't exists.

Is there a way to get that value, even if the item exists? Or I would have to delete the key and call get on it?

What is your use-case? It would be helpful to know what specifically you need it for.

[MrAmericanMike]

For example a value that a user is changing on some configs from default 40 to let's say 77 and I want to have a button so the user can "Reset to default" and make that field 40 again.

[sindresorhus]

I agree. I think it could be useful with a store.reset(key) method.

[MrAmericanMike]

Thanks. Glad you liked the idea ;)

I believe this is already implemented

#84

I will be doing some tests tomorrow, but I believe it's all done ;)

[MrAmericanMike]

Ok so I have run a simple test, and I it's working.
We need to set the defaults in an "schema" https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf

const Store = require('electron-store');

const schema = {
    name: {
        type: 'string',
        default: 'Hola'
    }
};

const store = new Store({ schema });

let value = store.get('name');

console.log(value);

store.set('name', 'Manola');

value = store.get('name');
console.log(value);

store.reset('name');

value = store.get('name');
console.log(value);

Output shows

Hola
Manola
Hola
