I'm having trouble using LocalStorage data.
I used storejs (localStorage library), therefore store.getItem equals to localStorage.getItem and store.setItem equals to localStorage.setItem.
please check my code.
const test = () => {
useEffect(() => {
const res = store.getItem('data')
// I'm trying toexecutes following code if store returns undefined.
if(!res) {
store.setItem('data', [{name:'aden', age:17}])
store.getItem('data')
}
},[])
return <></>
}
I know this code doesn't work. However, What I'm trying to do is when component mounts and there's nothing in LocalStorage, I want to immediately setItem to LocalStorage, and fetch the item right away.
However, with that code, I get nothing from the LocalStorage, It seems like I'm having misconception on lifecycle of react.
How can I solve the problem?

Try this:
import React, { useState } from "react";
const Test = () => {
const [user, setUser] = useState(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("user")));
const addToLocalStorage = () => {
const payload = [{ name: "aden", age: 17 }];
setUser(payload);
localStorage.setItem("user", JSON.stringify(payload));
};
return (
<>
<div>
{user?.length > 0 &&
user.map((e) => <span key={e.name}>name:{e.name}</span>)}
</div>
<button onClick={addToLocalStorage}>Add to localStorage</button>
</>
);
};
export default Test;useEffect(() => { const res = store.getItem('data')
// I'm trying toexecutes following code if store returns undefined.
if(!res) {
store.setItem('data', [{name:'aden', age:17}])
store.getItem('data')
}
},[]) Maybe you should type store.setItem
