What are the different storage options in React?

What are the different storage options in React?

In React, you can use localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB for storing data. LocalStorage persists data even after the browser is closed, while sessionStorage only lasts for the duration of the page session. IndexedDB is a more complex option for larger amounts of structured data.

Can you explain how localStorage works?

Sure! localStorage allows you to store key-value pairs in a web browser. The data persists even when the browser is closed. You can set an item using localStorage.setItem('key', 'value') and retrieve it with localStorage.getItem('key').

Is there a limit to how much data I can store in localStorage?

Yes, most browsers limit localStorage to about 5-10MB per origin. It's best for small amounts of data.

What about sessionStorage? How is it different?

sessionStorage is similar to localStorage, but it only lasts for the duration of the page session. Once the tab is closed, the data is cleared. It's useful for temporary data that doesn't need to persist.
