And why do people recommend localforage rather then localstorage?</p> <p>Its quite simple actually.</p> <h2> Localforage </h2> <p>Localforage is an asynchronous based local database simular to localstorage but internally it uses IndexedDB.</p> <p>IndexedDB is an arguably better alternative to localstorage, the problem is its kinda complex.<br> Localforage has a simple localstorage like syntax for IndexedDB.<br> Localforage also has a fallback to other storage methods for old browsers.</p> <p>It's good for saving large data as IndexedDB has more storage then localstorage.</p> <h2> Localstorage </h2> <p>Localstorage is a synchronous based local database.<br> You don't need to use promises/async syntax for it.</p> <p>It has a lot less storage then IndexedDB.<br> It's great for saving user settings without using cookies.</p> <h2> Conclusion </h2> <p>Its ultimately your choice.<br> I personally recommend localstorage for simply saving settings like dark mode, etc but i recommend localforage for saving data that is large in size, or if you can only use async in the current situation.</p> javascript webdev
