+# State Persistence Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+ArgentGrid supports saving and restoring grid state to/from LocalStorage. This allows users to preserve their column configuration, filters, sorting, and grouping across page reloads.
+
+---
+
+## What Gets Saved
+
+| State | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| **Column Order** | Column sequence and configuration | `[{ colId: 'id', width: 100, hide: false }]` |
+| **Column Width** | Individual column widths | `{ id: 150, name: 200 }` |
+| **Column Visibility** | Hidden/shown columns | `{ salary: false }` |
+| **Column Pinning** | Left/right pinned columns | `{ left: ['id'], right: [] }` |
+| **Sorting** | Active sort columns | `[{ colId: 'name', sort: 'asc' }]` |
+| **Filtering** | Active filters | `{ department: { filter: 'Eng' } }` |
+| **Row Grouping** | Grouped columns | `{ rowGroupCols: ['department'] }` |
+
+---
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Save State
+
+```typescript
+// Save to default key ('argent-grid-state')
+gridApi.saveState();
+
+// Save to custom key
+gridApi.saveState('my-grid-state');
+```
+
+### Restore State
+
+```typescript
+// Restore from default key
+const restored = gridApi.restoreState();
+if (restored) {
+  console.log('State restored!');
+}
+
+// Restore from custom key
+gridApi.restoreState('my-grid-state');
+```
+
+### Check if State Exists
+
+```typescript
+if (gridApi.hasState('my-grid-state')) {
+  console.log('Saved state found!');
+}
+```
+
+### Clear State
+
+```typescript
+// Clear default key
+gridApi.clearState();
+
+// Clear custom key
+gridApi.clearState('my-grid-state');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Get State Object (Without Saving)
+
+```typescript
+const state = gridApi.getState();
+console.log('Current state:', state);
+
+// State structure:
+{
+  columnOrder: [
+    { colId: 'id', width: 150, hide: false, pinned: false, sort: null }
+  ],
+  filter: {
+    department: { filterType: 'text', type: 'contains', filter: 'Eng' }
+  },
+  sort: {
+    sortModel: [{ colId: 'name', sort: 'asc' }]
+  },
+  rowGrouping: {
+    rowGroupCols: ['department'],
+    valueCols: [],
+    pivotCols: [],
+    isPivotMode: false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Set State Directly (Without LocalStorage)
+
+```typescript
+const state: GridState = {
+  columnOrder: [
+    { colId: 'id', width: 150, hide: false, pinned: false }
+  ],
+  sort: { sortModel: [{ colId: 'name', sort: 'asc' }] }
+};
+
+gridApi.setState(state);
+```
+
+### Auto-Save on State Changes
+
+```typescript
+// Subscribe to state changes
+gridApi.gridStateChanged$.subscribe(event => {
+  console.log('State changed:', event.type);
+  
+  // Auto-save on any change
+  if (event.type === 'column-resized' || 
+      event.type === 'column-moved' || 
+      event.type === 'filter-changed' ||
+      event.type === 'sort-changed') {
+    gridApi.saveState();
+  }
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration with GridComponent
+
+### Save/Restore on Component Init
+
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-my-grid',
+  template: `<argent-grid [gridOptions]="gridOptions" #grid></argent-grid>`
+})
+export class MyGridComponent implements AfterViewInit {
+  @ViewChild('grid') gridComponent!: ArgentGridComponent;
+  
+  ngAfterViewInit() {
+    const api = this.gridComponent.getApi();
+    
+    // Auto-restore on init
+    api.restoreState('my-grid-state');
+  }
+  
+  saveState() {
+    const api = this.gridComponent.getApi();
+    api.saveState('my-grid-state');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Save Before Navigation
+
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-my-grid',
+  template: `
+    <argent-grid [gridOptions]="gridOptions" #grid></argent-grid>
+    <button (click)="saveAndNavigate()">Save & Exit</button>
+  `
+})
+export class MyGridComponent {
+  @ViewChild('grid') gridComponent!: ArgentGridComponent;
+  
+  saveAndNavigate() {
+    const api = this.gridComponent.getApi();
+    api.saveState('my-grid-state');
+    this.router.navigate(['/other-page']);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## LocalStorage Considerations
+
+### Storage Limits
+
+- **LocalStorage limit:** ~5-10MB per domain
+- **Typical grid state:** ~1-10KB
+- **Recommendation:** Safe for most use cases
+
+### Multiple Grids on Same Page
+
+Use unique keys for each grid:
+
+```typescript
+// Grid 1
+gridApi1.saveState('users-grid-state');
+
+// Grid 2
+gridApi2.saveState('products-grid-state');
+```
+
+### Clearing State on Logout
+
+```typescript
+logout() {
+  this.gridApi.clearState('my-grid-state');
+  this.authService.logout();
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Event Types
+
+The `gridStateChanged$` subject emits events for:
+
+| Event Type | Description |
+|------------|-------------|
+| `state-saved` | State saved to LocalStorage |
+| `state-restored` | State restored from LocalStorage |
+| `state-cleared` | State cleared from LocalStorage |
+| `column-resized` | Column width changed |
+| `column-moved` | Column order changed |
+| `column-hidden` | Column visibility changed |
+| `filter-changed` | Filter applied/changed |
+| `sort-changed` | Sort applied/changed |
+| `group-changed` | Row grouping changed |
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Save/Restore
+
+```typescript
+// Save current state
+gridApi.saveState();
+
+// Later, restore it
+gridApi.restoreState();
+```
+
+### Example 2: User Preferences
+
+```typescript
+// Save with user-specific key
+const userId = this.authService.getUserId();
+gridApi.saveState(`user-${userId}-grid-state`);
+
+// Restore for specific user
+gridApi.restoreState(`user-${userId}-grid-state`);
+```
+
+### Example 3: Multiple Views
+
+```typescript
+// Save different views
+gridApi.saveState('view-all-records');
+gridApi.saveState('view-active-only');
+gridApi.saveState('view-my-records');
+
+// Switch between views
+gridApi.restoreState('view-active-only');
+```
+
+### Example 4: Export/Import State
+
+```typescript
+// Export state as JSON
+const state = gridApi.getState();
+const json = JSON.stringify(state);
+// Download or send to server
+
+// Import state from JSON
+const importedState: GridState = JSON.parse(json);
+gridApi.setState(importedState);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### State Not Restoring
+
+1. **Check if state exists:**
+   ```typescript
+   console.log('Has state:', gridApi.hasState());
+   ```
+
+2. **Check LocalStorage manually:**
+   ```javascript
+   console.log(localStorage.getItem('argent-grid-state'));
+   ```
+
+3. **Check for errors:**
+   ```typescript
+   gridApi.gridStateChanged$.subscribe(event => {
+     console.log('Event:', event);
+   });
+   ```
+
+### State Too Large
+
+If state is too large for LocalStorage:
+
+1. **Reduce saved columns:**
+   ```typescript
+   const state = gridApi.getState();
+   state.columnOrder = state.columnOrder.filter(col => !col.hide);
+   gridApi.setState(state);
+   ```
+
+2. **Use sessionStorage instead:**
+   ```typescript
+   sessionStorage.setItem('grid-state', JSON.stringify(state));
+   ```
+
+3. **Save to server:**
+   ```typescript
+   this.http.post('/api/user/preferences', state).subscribe();
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## API Reference
+
+### GridService Methods
+
+| Method | Parameters | Returns | Description |
+|--------|------------|---------|-------------|
+| `getState()` | - | `GridState` | Get current state object |
+| `setState(state)` | `state: GridState` | `void` | Apply state to grid |
+| `saveState(key?)` | `key?: string` | `void` | Save to LocalStorage |
+| `restoreState(key?)` | `key?: string` | `boolean` | Restore from LocalStorage |
+| `clearState(key?)` | `key?: string` | `void` | Clear from LocalStorage |
+| `hasState(key?)` | `key?: string` | `boolean` | Check if state exists |
+
+### GridState Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface GridState {
+  columnOrder?: ColumnState[];
+  filter?: FilterState;
+  sort?: SortState;
+  rowGrouping?: RowGroupingState;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ Do
+
+- Use unique keys for multiple grids
+- Save state after significant changes
+- Clear state on logout
+- Handle LocalStorage errors gracefully
+- Document your state keys
+
+### ❌ Don't
+
+- Save state on every single change (debounce instead)
+- Store sensitive data in LocalStorage
+- Assume LocalStorage is always available
+- Forget to clear state when appropriate
