How to use local storage in WeWeb?

Step 1: Open WeWeb Editor

First things first, head over to the WeWeb editor. This is where you'll be adding and tweaking all your website components.

Step 2: Import the Local Storage Plugin

Next, pop into the Plugins section in WeWeb. Look for 'Local Storage', then go ahead and install and activate it.

Step 3: Create a New Collection

Now, let's create a new collection in WeWeb. This is where your data will live. Navigate to the Collections tab and set up a new collection.

Step 4: Add Fields to the Collection

Time to add some fields to your collection. These fields will hold the data you want to store in local storage, like user info or preferences.

Step 5: Configure Local Storage

Head back to the Plugins section and configure the Local Storage plugin. Link it up with the collection you just created. Specify which fields should be stored in local storage.

Step 6: Use Data in Components

Drag and drop the components you need onto your page. For instance, if you want to show user info stored in local storage, bind these components to the fields in your collection.

Step 7: Set Up Actions to Store Data

Set up actions to store data in local storage. You can do this through the WeWeb editor’s Action system. For example, you might have a form that saves input data to local storage when submitted.

Step 8: Retrieve Data from Local Storage

Configure your components to pull data from local storage. Use data bindings to display this data in your UI components based on how you set up your collection.

Step 9: Test Your Implementation

Save and publish your changes. Test everything by adding data through the UI components and making sure it's being stored and retrieved correctly from local storage.

Step 10: Debug and Refine

Check your browser's console for any errors. Debug if needed and refine the process to ensure your local storage works smoothly within your WeWeb project.
