Local Storage Example

I’ve heard of a new format for cookies, but i forgor how it’s called. Maybe something like “bits”?

I mean you could use like indexedDB, but that’s harder and what do you mean “more secure”? localStorage is pretty safe…

what?

from what I’ve seen, there are only:

  • cookies
  • localStorage
  • indexedDB
  • sessionStorage (like localStorage but only for the session)
  • cache storage
  • storage buckets (idk what’s that but it was on devtools application panel)

Yes. That is true. It is so easy to configure.

W localStorage. sad that we have a 5mb (i think) limit on each item’s size

26

ya but it’s synchronous, so they don’t want you to block everything loading 5.001 MB

Well, you could split a 10mb item into two 5mb items!

I think 5mb is the limit for the whole domain tho, correct me if I’m wrong

Compression with something like lz-string would be a viable option but sometimes not the case

Ahh… I didn’t know that. I don’t store a lot of information with LocalStorage

What about those web workers or whatever it’s called?
