Implement local.storage in React to allow storing variables in memory

Tiempo de lectura: 4 minutos

In order to store variables locally, we need to implement local storage, and just like in web development, we can use it in React.

Let’s get started:

Step 1: Import Necessary Modules

Make sure you have the necessary modules installed. You can install react and react-dom if you haven’t already:

Plain text
Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window
EnlighterJS 3 Syntax Highlighter
npm install react react-dom
npm install react react-dom
npm install react react-dom

Step 2: Create a Counter Component

Let’s assume you already have a counter component. Here is the component’s code:

Plain text
Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window
EnlighterJS 3 Syntax Highlighter
// Counter.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
const Counter = () => {
// Counter state
const [count, setCount] = useState(() => {
const storedCount = localStorage.getItem('counter');
return storedCount ? parseInt(storedCount, 10) : 0;
});
// Update localStorage every time the counter changes
useEffect(() => {
localStorage.setItem('counter', count.toString());
}, [count]);
// Handle counter increment function
const increment = () => {
setCount(count + 1);
};
// Handle counter reset function
const reset = () => {
setCount(0);
};
return (
<div>
<p>Counter: {count}</p>
<button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
<button onClick={reset}>Reset</button>
</div>
);
};
export default Counter;
// Counter.js import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; const Counter = () => { // Counter state const [count, setCount] = useState(() => { const storedCount = localStorage.getItem('counter'); return storedCount ? parseInt(storedCount, 10) : 0; }); // Update localStorage every time the counter changes useEffect(() => { localStorage.setItem('counter', count.toString()); }, [count]); // Handle counter increment function const increment = () => { setCount(count + 1); }; // Handle counter reset function const reset = () => { setCount(0); }; return ( <div> <p>Counter: {count}</p> <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button> <button onClick={reset}>Reset</button> </div> ); }; export default Counter;
// Counter.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const Counter = () => {
  // Counter state
  const [count, setCount] = useState(() => {
    const storedCount = localStorage.getItem('counter');
    return storedCount ? parseInt(storedCount, 10) : 0;
  });

  // Update localStorage every time the counter changes
  useEffect(() => {
    localStorage.setItem('counter', count.toString());
  }, [count]);

  // Handle counter increment function
  const increment = () => {
    setCount(count + 1);
  };

  // Handle counter reset function
  const reset = () => {
    setCount(0);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Counter: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={reset}>Reset</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Counter;

Step 3: Use the Component in Your Application

In your main application component (e.g., App.js), import and use the counter component:

Plain text
Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window
EnlighterJS 3 Syntax Highlighter
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import Counter from './Counter';
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>My React Application</h1>
<Counter />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
// App.js import React from 'react'; import Counter from './Counter'; const App = () => { return ( <div> <h1>My React Application</h1> <Counter /> </div> ); }; export default App;
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import Counter from './Counter';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My React Application</h1>
      <Counter />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Step 4: Run Your Application

Make sure you have saved all your files and run your React application:

Plain text
Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window
EnlighterJS 3 Syntax Highlighter
npm start
npm start
npm start

This will start your application, and you will see the counter in the user interface.

Step 5: Understand the Implementation

  • useState: Used to handle the counter state.
  • useEffect: Used to update localStorage every time the counter value changes.
  • localStorage: Stores and retrieves the counter value from the browser’s local storage.
  • Increment and Reset: Two simple functions that update the counter state.

Step 6: Test Persistence

Test the persistence of the counter: increase the counter, reload the page, and verify that the counter value is maintained.

That’s it! You have successfully implemented state persistence using localStorage in your existing React application. This example provides a foundation for understanding how to integrate localStorage into other components or features of your application.

  return (
