Removes an item from the web browser's local storage.
Web browsers can save small amounts of data using the built-in localStorage object. Data stored in localStorage
can be retrieved at any point, even after refreshing a page or restarting the browser. Data are stored as key-value pairs.
storeItem() makes it easy to store values in localStorage
and removeItem()
makes it easy to delete them.
The parameter, key
, is the name of the value to remove as a string. For example, calling removeItem('size')
removes the item with the key size
.
Note: Sensitive data such as passwords or personal information shouldn't be stored in localStorage
.
