Is there localstorage in nativescript?

Question

How to share the data across the pages which resides in application.Can anyone tell about localstorage in nativescript?

Answer 1

If you are using NS8, use "application-settings" from @nativescript/core

For example:

import * as appSettings from "@nativescript/core/application-settings";
...
appSettings.setString("token", response.token);
appSettings.setString("userId", response.user.id.toString());
appSettings.setString("email", email);

Answer 2

If you install the "nativescript-localstorage" plugin,

tns plugin install nativescript-localstorage

You will then have access to both SessionStorage and LocalStorage just as if you were using a browser.

From the docs:

To set a value:

require( "nativescript-localstorage" );
localStorage.setItem('Another Plugin', 'By Master Technology');
localStorage.getItem('Another Plugin'); // Returns: "By Master Technology"

or

const LS = require( "nativescript-localstorage" );
LS.setItem('Another Plugin', 'By Master Technology');
LS.getItem('Another Plugin');  // Returns: "By Master Technology"
