Having multiple tabs open but only one communicates with the server

Looking for some advice for having multiple tabs open in a single browser but only one communicates with the server.

Best practices, frameworks etc.

figured there might be a framework that already handles this idea through local storage or cookies but couldn't seem google one or find a previous post that addresses this problem.

At this point i'm looking to role my own via by keeping a list of tabs and assigning one to make calls to the server and share the data via local storage.

update. found this Duel.js will investigate.

Alright after some playing around with DuelJS it appears to be what I was looking for in terms of a existing API.

Managed to get it working in within a Angular 2 typescript project and I'm pretty happy with the result.

Basically I have single web page open in two tabs one being a master tab that is making all the calls to the server/database and broadcasting the result the slave tab where the component/view is updated.

Still interested in other peoples thoughts?
