How can I fix "sessionStorage is not defined" in Svelte?

I'm new in Svelte and I'm trying to set some info into sessionStorage but it is throwing "sessionStorage is not defined". I realised that I received this error because it's running on the server side.

I created a component at /src/components/nav.svelte that uses /src/domain/auth/service.js and the error occurs in the last one.

Searching on the web I found that in this case I must use sessionStorage inside onMount function. Is that the right way?

How can I avoid that my code get a little mess?

Solution

  • You could try to check if you're actually in a browser environment, e.g. something like

    if (window && window.sessionStorage) {
    // do your stuff with sessionStorage
}

    or

    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
    // do your stuff with sessionStorage
}
