RAP persistent state - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  RAP persistent state is a feature of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It allows developers to store and retrieve data from the server in a persistent manner. This means that the data is stored on the server and can be accessed at any time, even after the user has logged out or closed the browser window. 
  
  How to use it: 
  RAP persistent state can be used to store data such as user preferences, session information, and other data that needs to be retained across multiple sessions. To use this feature, developers must first create a RAP persistent state object in their application code. This object will contain all of the data that needs to be stored in a persistent manner. Once the object is created, developers can then use the RAP API to store and retrieve data from the server. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP persistent state, it is important to remember that all data stored in this manner is stored on the server and not on the client side. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all data stored in this manner is secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users. Additionally, it is important to remember that all data stored in this manner will remain on the server until it is explicitly deleted by the developer.
