The Svelte-use-persist is a Svelte action that allows users to save forms and inputs client-side to local storage and automatically restores them on page load. This action is particularly useful for long forms where users may want to save their progress and come back to complete it later without losing any data.
Features:

- Restore forms and inputs on page load automatically
- Supports various input types including text, email, tel, date, number, checkbox, radio, password, textarea, and select
