Question

Say I have the following for storing in a localstorage

    var storageObject = {}; 
    storageObject.value = myvalue; 
    storageObject.timestamp = d.getTime(); 
    localStorage.setItem(myref, JSON.stringify(storageObject)); 

How do I use the getItem to retreive the value?

Answer 1

Simply:

localStorage.getItem(myref);

Or even:

localStorage[myref];

Edit to restore original object from JSON, simply parse it:

var revivedObject = JSON.parse( localStorage.getItem(myref) ); 
// console.log(revivedObject);
