Extend the localStorageService for Angular (https://github.com/grevory/angular-local-storage) with the possibility of expiring entries.

localStorageService.expire.js

 * - usage localStorageService.set(key, val, expire)
 * - expire is an integer defininig after how many hours the value expires
 * - when it expires, it is deleted from the localStorage

Thanks for posting this! One thing I noticed is the $delegate 'rm' method has been renamed to 'remove' on line 31

In conversion it should be like this (1000 * 60 * 60 * expires). Otherwise it will convert it into minutes.
BTW it helps me a lot. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, will edit original post :)
