Removing an item in HTML5 Local Storage after a period of time?

Question

I have a simple HTML5 App that I am currently working on and I\'m wondering if it\'s possible to remove a item in HTML5 Local Storage after a period of time, like: after 24 hour

Answer 1

Use This Solution:

(function () {

  var lastclear = localStorage.getItem('lastclear'),
      time_now  = (new Date()).getTime();

  // .getTime() returns milliseconds so 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 = 24 days
  if ((time_now - lastclear) > 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24) {

    localStorage.clear();

    localStorage.setItem('lastclear', time_now);
  }

})();
