Ahh! localstorage!

Hi guys,

I’m working on a Js application that uses localstorage to remember a couple variables that alter the application when set. I’m using:

localStorage.setItem('settings',JSON.stringify(this.settings));

to store the information to localstorage, then:

this.settings = JSON.parse( localStorage.getItem( 'settings' ) );

to store settings, if any, into a variable. My problem is that this.settings is a string. I know this, because:

console.log(typeof this.settings);

returns a string. What I want is for an object to be returned, so I can utilize this.settings like so:

this.state = this.settings.state;

Does anyone see what I might be doing wrong?

nvm — misread your question

@Mottie,

I’ve got it. The code you suggested works. It was only once I cleared localStorage that it started working. Thanks : )
