[SOLVED] Can you save something in LocalStorage with a variable?

Can you save something in LocalStorage with a variable?

So this is a quick question, but I was unable to find an answer anywhere. I know to save things in localStorage you write like this:

localStorage.name = JSON.stringify("this has now been saved under name);

But I want to be able to change what it is saved under depening on a variable, like this:

const banana = potato
localStorage.banana = JSON.stringify("this has now been saved under potato");

Is this possible to do? :)

Solution

Localstorage allows for the storage of key and value pairs where the value is a string.

If you are assigning to localstorage from reference to another variable, if it resolves to a string then that will work:

const potato = "potato";
const banana = potato;
localStorage.setItem(banana, "this has now been saved under potato");

Otherwise you will need to stringify the value of the variable first.
