How to check whether a Storage item is set?

there are couple of methods to check i am adding them here

Method 1

if("infiniteScrollEnabled" in localStorage){
     console.log("Item exists in localstorage");
}else{
    console.log("Item does not exist in localstoarge";
}

Method 2

if(localStorage.getItem("infiniteScrollEnabled") === null){
    console.log("Item does not exist in localstoarge";
}else{
   console.log("Item exists in localstorage");
}

Method 3

if(typeof localStorage["cart"] === "undefined"){
    console.log("Item does not exist in localstoarge";
}else{
   console.log("Item exists in localstorage");
}

Method 4

if(localStorage.hasOwnProperty("infiniteScrollEnabled")){
     console.log("Item exists in localstorage");
 }else{
    console.log("Item does not exist in localstoarge";
 }

Can try something like this:

 let x = localStorage.getItem('infiniteScrollEnabled') === null ? "not found" : localStorage.getItem('infiniteScrollEnabled')

You should check for the type of the item in the localStorage

if(localStorage.token !== null) {
   // this will only work if the token is set in the localStorage
}

if(typeof localStorage.token !== 'undefined') {
  // do something with token
}

if(typeof localStorage.token === 'undefined') {
  // token doesn't exist in the localStorage, maybe set it?
}

Best and Safest way i can suggest is this,

if(Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(localStorage, 'infiniteScrollEnabled')){
    // init variable/set default variable for item
    localStorage.setItem("infiniteScrollEnabled", true);
}

This passes through ESLint's no-prototype-builtins rule.

I've used in my project and works perfectly for me

var returnObjName= JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('ObjName'));
if(returnObjName && Object.keys(returnObjName).length > 0){
   //Exist data in local storage
}else{
  //Non Exist data block
}

I'm late to this party, but checking localStorage for the existence of keys (or the existence of key values) is easily done with localDataStorage, a handy utility wrapper I created.

After instantiating the wrapper with something like

myLDS = localDataStorage( 'segmentedStorageHere' );

you can set keys

myLDS.set( 'infiniteScrollEnabled', true );

in a straightforward manner. Note that this example is actually passing a boolean value to the store, where it can be retrieved with

let scrollingState = myLDS.get( 'infiniteScrollEnabled' );

and scrollingState will contain the boolean value returned. The wrapper keeps track of the native JavaScript data type for you, seamlessly (Array, Boolean, Date, Number, Object, etc.) No more JSON stringifying/parsing in your code.

Now when we need to know if a key is in the store, we can check it like this

if( myLDS.haskey( 'infiniteScrollEnabled' ) ) {
    console.log( "It's been set!" ); 
} else {
    console.log( "The key is not set." ); 
}

You can also check whether a particular value is present. For example

myLDS.set( 'myNumber', 1234.5678 );
console.log( myLDS.hasval( 1234.5678 ) );    --> true

As @Christian C. Salvadó has mentioned above you can do if (xxx === null){}

but null is also a falsy value, like so:

if (null){
console.log ("hello");
}

which does not print "hello".

I always check if localStorage or sessionStorage is set by checking the length of them

if (sessionStorage.length > 0) {
  console.log("exists")
} else {
  console.log("not exists")
}

Try this code

if (localStorage.getItem("infiniteScrollEnabled") === null) {

} else {

}
