Methods

key(index)

When passed a number n, returns the name of the nth key in the storage. The order of keys is user-agent defined, so you should not rely on it.

tinyLocalStorage.key(0);
 
tinySessionStorage.key(0);

get(keyName)

When passed a key name, will return that key's value or null if the key does not exist.

tinyLocalStorage.get('user');
 
tinySessionStorage.get('user');

set(keyName, keyValue)

When passed a key name and value, will add that key to the storage, or update that key's value if it already exists.

tinyLocalStorage.set('user', {
  name: 'Ali',
  surname: 'Gasymov'
});
 
tinySessionStorage.set('user', {
  name: 'Ali',
  surname: 'Gasymov'
});

remove(keyName)

When passed a key name, will remove that key from the storage if it exists. If there is no item associated with the given key, this method will do nothing.

tinyLocalStorage.remove('user');
 
tinySessionStorage.remove('user');

clear()

When invoked, clears all stored keys.

tinyLocalStorage.clear();
 
tinySessionStorage.clear();

Properties

length

Returns an integer representing the number of data items stored in the storage.
