This question already has an answer here:
I'm trying to use chrome.storage.local
in my extension, and it doesn't seem to work. I used localStorage
but realized that I can't use it in content scripts over multiple pages.
So, this is what I've come up with:
function save() { var channels = $("#channels").val(); var keywords = $("#keywords").val(); chrome.storage.local.set({'channels': channels}); chrome.storage.local.set({'keywords': keywords}); }
I do believe I'm doing the save()
right, but the problem comes up in load()
:
function load() { var channels = ""; chrome.storage.local.get('channels', function(result){ channels = result; alert(result); }); var keywords = ""; chrome.storage.local.get('keywords', function(result){ keywords = result; alert(result); }); $("#channels").val(channels); $("#keywords").val(keywords); }
When the alerts trigger, it prints out [object Object]
. Why is that? What am I doing wrong? I looked at the documentation/examples, but I can't seem to pinpoint the problem.
