I am defining a variable called user. The session storage gets the value of that variable as [object Object], but if I try to get or print different properties I get the following
user.name = I get nothing
user[0] = I get [
I have tried different ways but I am not able to get the property of that object called name.
Help please!
sessionStorage.user = userSessionStorage;
I get [object Object]
I just need to know how I can get the values of the differents properties
There are a number of different reason why user.name returns undefined. Firstly, name property might not exist in your user object. You can do that by doing this:
Object.keys(user)
and see if the string name is in the output array.
Once you have done that, You can try looping through the properties of user like so:
Object.keys(user).forEach(e => console.log(e + ' = ' + user[e]));
From the session storage you will get a string, you need to make use of JSON.parse() before getting the value
var usr = JSON.parse(user);
console.log(usr) // this will log the object from where you can access the properties.
Set the data as a JSON String in session Storage instead of JSON Object.
var userData = JSON.stringify(userSessionStorage);
sessionStorage.setItem("user", userData);
And parse it again to JSON Object from JSON String when you get back from the storage.
var getUser = sessionStorage.getItem("user");
var user = JSON.parse(getUser);
