I am trying to save a data object in chrome sync storage and then retrieve it, however the get() function always returns an empty object. The code I am using is,
function storeUserPrefs() {
var key='myKey', testPrefs = {'val': 10};
chrome.storage.sync.set({key: testPrefs}, function() {
console.log('Saved', key, testPrefs);
});
}
function getUserPrefs() {
chrome.storage.sync.get('myKey', function (obj) {
console.log('myKey', obj);
});
}
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?
The problem is with chrome.storage.sync.set({key: testPrefs}
Your data is stored as
{
key: "{"val":10}"
}
So, your code chrome.storage.sync.get('myKey')
return undefined\empty object.
Use string "key"
as your key
chrome.storage.sync.get("key", function (obj) {
console.log(obj);
});
or
Set data through "myKey"
Key.
chrome.storage.sync.set({"myKey": testPrefs})
P.S : Don't forget chrome.storage.sync
is permanent storage API, Use chrome.storage.sync.clear before any further testing to see changes
Use this code to set variable value in Chrome.storage
function storeUserPrefs() {
var key = "myKey",
testPrefs = JSON.stringify({
'val': 10
});
var jsonfile = {};
jsonfile[key] = testPrefs;
chrome.storage.sync.set(jsonfile, function () {
console.log('Saved', key, testPrefs);
});
}
It generates following Output
Object{
myKey: "{"val":10}"
}
