non AngularJS way of reading $localstorage

So normally I would use cookies to parse data from one AngularJS application to another, and then read those cookies before bootstrapping my application.

The problem with this approach is that the cookies have a size limit. And to get around this I thought about using $localstorage from the ngStorage library.

Now my problem is, how do I read the data stored in my $localstorage before bootstrapping my application, ie: in pure JavaScript?

Solution

  • It is really simple:

    Store item:

    localStorage.setItem('key', 'value');

    Get Item:

    localStorage.getItem('key');

    You may want to store JSON in the storage, so you can always use JSON.stringify(var) in your set method, and JSON.parse(var) after your get.
