How can I use sessionStorage in web browser on expo

Question

I want to use sessionStorage on expo-web development.

How do I access browser based storage with expo?

Answer 1

You can simply access it as you would in a regular JavaScript project.

sessionStorage.setItem('foo', 'bar');

Do note, however, that if you want this code to run both on Web and Native, you will need to make sure sessionStorage exists before using it.

const getStoredItem = (key) => window && window.sessionStorage && sessionStorage.getItem(key)

This is required because your Expo app will not have a sessionStorage API once compiled to a native app.
