I and my course mate are trying to write a code where when the order button is clicked it should save on local storage and redirect to an order page.
So far when we click on order it is not registered in the application/local storage section of the google developer tool and thus does not redirect to a new page.
We put an eventlistener to show a console.log for when we click, just to be sure the buttons are in order(this part is not important).
We also used an online javascript validator to eliminate typos and errors.
Also do we need any specific code on the order.html file to interface with local storage?

The issue here is that the event DOMContentLoaded does not fire.
Here is how I have used the load event instead; for redirection, I have simply used URL search params (because I don't know what your other html file looks like) although you may use your other html document instead.
The snippet is below
securityError. To run this code you must save it on your computer or use a jsFiddlefunction continue_ordering() {
alert("Now continue with order");
};
window.addEventListener("load", function(e) {
const orderButtons = document.querySelectorAll("button[data-order]");
orderButtons.forEach(function(button) {
button.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
const button = e.currentTarget;
const container = button.parentNode;
const id = button.getAttribute("data-order");
const order = {
id,
title: container.querySelector(".title").innerText,
price1: container.querySelector(".price").innertext,
desc: container.querySelector(".desc").innerText
};
localStorage.setItem("order-" + id, JSON.stringify(order));
window.location.search = "?ordering=true&order-id=" + id;
});
});
});
window.addEventListener("load", function(e) {
if (window.location.search.search("ordering=true") != -1) {
console.log("User is ordering");
const params = new URLSearchParams(location.search)
const id = params.get("order-id");
if (!id || id == null) throw "There is no order id, error. Remove the ?ordering=true from the url and try again.";
const order_info = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("order-" + id));
if (!order_info) throw "Order information is not present: try ordering again. Remove the ?ordering=true from the url";
console.log("Order info is:\n", order_info);
document.getElementById("ordering").removeAttribute("hidden");
return;
};
document.getElementById("make-order").removeAttribute("hidden");
