I needed a simple way to use the sessionStorage
and localStorage
with React, and one of the requirements was to use TypeScript. The idea from Robin Wieruch's original article is pretty simple. It encapsulates the browser sessionStorage
or localStorage
with the useState
hook. The hooks actually return a stateful value, and a function to update it. All I had to do was to put everything together into a TypeScript module.
You can also customize the STORAGE_KEYS_PREFIX
, which can be useful to avoid conflicts between storage keys from different applications you might be developing.
