js store in local storage code example

Example 1: javascript store object in local storage

var person = { "name": "billy", "age": 23};

localStorage.setItem('person', JSON.stringify(person)); //stringify object and store
var retrievedPerson = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('person')); //retrieve the object

Example 2: local storage javascript

function createItem() {
	localStorage.setItem('nameOfItem', 'value'); 
} 
createItem() // Creates a item named 'nameOfItem' and stores a value of 'value'

function getValue() {
	return localStorage.getItem('nameOfItem');  
} // Gets the value of 'nameOfItem' and returns it
console.log(getValue()); //'value';

Example 3: js save local storage

var obj = {
	firstName: "Bob",
    lastName: "Jeff",
    age: 13
}
localStorage.setItem("itemname", JSON.stringify(obj)); // Save the obj as string
var item = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("itemname")); 
// ^^ Parse string then set `item` as the obj

Example 5: javascript get local storage

var Item = localStorage.getItem('youritem');

Example 6: local storage

As the answers here already talk about the coding aspect. I will talk about
the concept.
Local storage is basically an object stored in the specific browser you are 
using in that moment. And thus it is tied to that browser in that device. It's 
duration is infinite so it never expires

If you only want to store data that only lasts for that browser session(
starts when you open a window and ends when you close it) then the best choice
is sessionStorage
