App.js

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <FirstComponent />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import FirstComponent from "./components/FirstComponent.vue";
export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    FirstComponent,
  },
};
</script>

    return {
      Days: ["sunday", "monday"],
      Month: ["Jan", "Feb"],
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    this.addData();
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.clearData();
    }, 5000);
  },
  methods: {
    addData() {
      localStorage.setItem("website", "sortoutcode");
      localStorage.setItem("days", JSON.stringify(this.Days));
      localStorage.setItem("months", JSON.stringify(this.Month));
      this.name = localStorage.getItem("website");
    },
