Storage

Methods for storing and accessing data locally in the browser.

setStorage()
Saves data to localStorage or sessionStorage. Automatically stringifies objects and arrays.
Syntax 
/**
 * @param {String}  id      The localStorage ID
 * @param {*}       data    The data to save
 * @param {Boolean} session If true, use sessionStorage instead of localStorage
 */
portal.setStorage(id, data, session)
Example 
// Saves to localStorage
portal.setStorage('lunch', {
    sandwich: 'Turkey',
    drink: 'Water',
    orderNumber: 123
});
 
// Saves to sessionStorage
portal.setStorage('dinner', {
    sandwich: 'Chicken',
    drink: 'Soda',
    orderNumber: 456
}, true);
getStorage()
Gets data from localStorage or sessionStorage. Automatically converts stringified arrays and objects back into their original format.
Syntax 
/**
 * @param  {String} id       The localStorage ID
 * @param  {*}      fallback A fallback value to return if no data is found [optional]
 * @param {Boolean} session  If true, get data from sessionStorage instead of localStorage
 * @return {*}               The saved data
 */
portal.getData(id, fallback, session)
Example 
// Get data from localStorage
var stored1 = portal.getData('lunch');
 
 
// Get data from localStorage with an empty object as a fallback
var stored2 = portal.getData('lunch', {});
 
 
// Get data from sessionStorage (with no fallback)
var stored3 = portal.getData('dinner', null, true);
 
// Get data from sessionStorage with an empty object as a fallback
var stored3 = portal.getData('dinner', {}, true);
removeStorage()
Removes data from localStorage or sessionStorage.
Syntax 
/**
 * @param  {String} id       The localStorage ID
 * @param {Boolean} session  If true, remove data from sessionStorage instead of localStorage
 */
portal.removeData(id, session)
Example 
// Remove data from localStorage
portal.removeData('lunch');

getCookie()
