### Define new storage
One of the most useful methods of API is the possibility to add new storages. You might think, we have the `local` and `remote` storages, what else do we need, right? Well, let's take as an example the `local` one. As you already know, it relies on [localStorage API] which is really cool and easy to use but one of his specs might be a big limit, by default it has a limited amount of MB to use per site (something around 5MB-10MB, depends on the browser implementation). As an alternative, we can make use of [IndexedDB] which is also quite [well supported](https://caniuse.com/#search=indexedDB) and allows more space usage (each browser implements its own rules, for a better understanding on how browser storage limits work, check [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Browser_storage_limits_and_eviction_criteria)).
[IndexedDB configuration](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Using_IndexedDB) might be too much verbose for this guide so we decided to create the [grapesjs-indexeddb] plugin, so you can check its source and see how it's implemented. For this guide we gonna see something more simpler but with the same flow, it'll be just a simple javascript object which stores key-value data, not persistent at all but the concept is the same.
