🗒️ Class 13: Local Storage

Covering local storage is important because it is our first experience with creating a web application/site that does not refresh the browser state on refresh.

• Why would a developer use local storage for a web application?

  A developer would use lcoal storage when they want to store somehting but not necessarily on a server-side. Local storage allows for web application to close and reopen without restarting all over again.

• What information should not be stored in local storage?

  Any sensitive information

• Local storage can store what type of data? How would you convert it to that type before storing?

  local storage can only store strings in the different keys. If we want objects to work, we would have to use JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse as a workaround.
