How to store and retrieve JSON data into local storage?

Question

I have this code:

var string = \'{\"items\":[{\"Desc\":\"Item1\"},{\"Desc\":\"Item2\"}]}\';
localStorage.setItem(\'added-items\', JSON.stringify(string));
         


        

Answer 1

// THIS IS ALREADY STRINGIFIED
var string = '{"items":[{"Desc":"Item1"},{"Desc":"Item2"}]}';

// DO NOT STRINGIFY AGAIN WHEN WRITING TO LOCAL STORAGE
localStorage.setItem('added-items', string);

// READ STRING FROM LOCAL STORAGE
var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('added-items');

// CONVERT STRING TO REGULAR JS OBJECT
var parsedObject = JSON.parse(retrievedObject);

// ACCESS DATA
console.log(parsedObject.items[0].Desc);
