Storage data (localstroage, IndexedDb) gets deleted whenever the application restarts in dev mode

Storage data (localstroage, IndexedDb) is getting deleted on app restarts. Meaning, if I completely stop the build, and start again. The data is maintained if the app simply restarts because of HMR or anything else that doesn't stop the dev build.

I have no idea how or where to start looking. I was not able to reproduce this in electron-starters that don't use electron-webpack. I was able to reproduce it easily by using [electron-webpack-quick-start](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-webpack-quick-start) and only in dev mode. Running the packaged app doesn't face this problem. So I'm guessing this must be related to `electron-webpack dev`.
