Local storage in Angular 2

Question

I need to store data in the browser's session and retrieve the data until the session exits. How do you use local and session storage in Angular 2?

Answer 1

The standard localStorage API should be available, just do e.g.:

localStorage.setItem('whatever', 'something');

It's pretty widely supported.

Note that you will need to add "dom" to the "lib" array in your tsconfig.json if you don't already have it.
