Example 2: local storage javascript

localStorage.setItem('user_name', 'Rohit'); //store a key/value
var retrievedUsername = localStorage.getItem('user_name'); //retrieve the key

Example 3: how to get data from localstorage in javascript

//localStorage is an object, so values are stored by key name
//data from localStorage is always stored in strings
//usually the values at each key are stringified objects in JSON format, therefore we must parse them
var data = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("key name"));//make sure the "key name" exists in the localStorage
