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

LocalStorage is the data storage type of web storage. This allows the Javascript sites and apps to store and access the data without any expiration date. The data will always and it will not expire even after the browser close.

let name = 'sortoutcode';

//store the name data in localStorage
localStorage.setItem('wesite',name);    //localStorage.setItem(key);

// get data from localStorage
localStorage.removeItem('wesite');   // remove wesite key value
