LocalStorage to check how many times a modal is open - javascript

I have an uncertain amount of modals in my page, all determined by an specific ID. What I'm doing is checking how many times a modal gets open, and then, by using a counter, I reach a certain limit.
This limit is taken from a JSON file and then compared with the amount of times the modal has been opened.
But here's the catch. I need to save this data (the one concerning the openings) into LocalStorage, so everytime I close my browser the data remains.
As you can see, I have a "testObject" variable created in LocalStorage, this one's equal to the alertCounter. Then I compare it to my ShowingLimit variable (extracted from the JSON file) and that shows me an alert.
The question's simple. How do I keep the data from rebooting?
var alertCounter = 0;
$("#" + modalName + "").on("shown.bs.modal", function(e){
alertCounter++;
localStorage.testObject = alertCounter;
if(localStorage.testObject == showingLimit){
alert("We've reached the limit");
});
}
})

You should try something like this:
if(localStorage.testObject){ //Is there any testObject?
if(+localStorage.testObject >= showingLimit )//is equal to the limit
{
alert("We've reached the limit");//or whatever
}
else{
+localStorage.testObject++; //+ 1
}
}else{
localStorage.testObject = 1; //first time
}
Note that the + is to cast as integer, because is stored as string.

How can I store the count of clicking the submit button in browser

When click button click count increments and display count but when window or browser close the incremented value are are same and display it when open window after
Here ya go. This uses LocalStorage to store the count as a variable, and increments it every time the button is clicked. LocalStorage can only store strings, so to add 1, requires converting to an int first.
I can not embed the code directly in this answer due to SO restrictions. Here is the code and a working JSFiddle.
HTML:
<button class='clickButton' onclick="clickButtonFunction()">Click to increment</button>
<div id='clickCounter'></div>
<button class='clickButton' onclick="clickReset()">Reset count</button>
Javascript:
// This function increases the count
function clickButtonFunction() {
console.log('run');
//Check to see if the localstorage variable exists. If it does not, this is the first time coming to the page, and we need to initalize it to 0
if (localStorage.getItem("clickCounter") === null) {
// Store
localStorage.setItem("clickCounter", "0");
}
// Get the value from local storage
var value = parseInt(localStorage.getItem("clickCounter"));
// Incrememtnt the count by 1
var newValue = value + 1
//Write the value back to local storage
localStorage.setItem("clickCounter", newValue);
// Write the value to the div
document.getElementById("clickCounter").innerHTML = newValue
}
// Reset local storage to 0
function clickReset() {
localStorage.setItem("clickCounter", "0");
// Write the value to the div
document.getElementById("clickCounter").innerHTML = '0'
}

For future, you should really include your attempts at solving the problem, in your question.
you have to save the value of the count in some where like text file time by time and increase it also in file ,so you will not find a problem to know the number of the clicks before you close the browser , you can find it in your text file.

Change value of variable in a if-statment argument depending of the if-statments outcome

What I'm trying to do is to contact WooCommerce every fifth seconds to check if a product have been edited. I can do that by asking for res[0].date_modified. Then I compare the time it was created (res[0].date_created) and last modified.
If the values are the same the product have never been modified. However if the product get modified I no longer want to compare the time the product was created and last modifed.
I now want to compare the time with the last time it got modified with "res[0].date_modified" so I can see if it gets modified another time.
This is what I have come up with:
function lookForEdit(){
WooCommerce.get('products/', function(err, WooData, res) {
res=JSON.parse(res)
var comp = res[0].date_created;
if(comp == res[0].date_modified){
console.log("the product haven't been modified")
}
else{
console.log("The product have been edited")
comp = res[0].date_modified;
}
})
}
setInterval(lookForEdit, 5000);
I understand why it doesn't work, but I don't know how to fix it.
How can I fix it?
Thanks
Using a global variable to store the last value would be enough, just check if it is defined first, if not take the date_create value.
Of course, you can check date_modifed only if it is not defined for a unmodifed item.
In that case, you just need to check if date_modifed value is defined, if it is, compare with comp (still global). Then if there are different store the new value.
PS: Sorry, I can't write a code since I didn't write javascript in a will. I end up in that question by mistake ^^
This would be a pseudocode of it
global comp;
function(){
if(comp not defined)
comp = date_created
if(comp != date_modified)
//changed
comp = date_modified;
}
Well, right off the bat, you are setting comp = res[0].date_created and then, if they are equal you are setting comp = res[0].date_modified but then the very next time you call the api, you are overwriting comp with the date created again. You should be using 2 separate variables to track the information. You should use 2 separate more descriptive names for the values you are trying to monitor.
Since your code runs every 5 seconds, I suppose you could check that the last modification happened less than 5 seconds ago :
if(comp == res[0].date_modified){
console.log("the product hasn't been modified")
}
else if (new Date(Date.now().getTime() - 5000) < res[0].date_modified) {
console.log("the product hasn't been modified since the last check");
}
else{
console.log("The product has been edited")
comp = res[0].date_modified;
}

Javascript - How to run part of the code only after the page refreshes?

Important: Even though this could probably be done with php (I'm using WooCommerce on Wordpress), I want this script to run only on my browser. That's why I want to do it in Javascript. Hence, I'm using Custom Javascript for Websites to load my script from my browser.
What my script should do: Check if the data of a specific element has been changed.
Logic: Step 1) Get and locally remember specific string (order number) of a specific class. Step 2) Refresh the page. Step 3) Again get the specific string (order number) of a specific class. Step 4) If strings do not match, run a function (play an audio).
Problem: After page reloads, the script starts to run again from the beginning. Hence, it results in overriding the stored string. As a result, stored and newly fetched string are always equal.
Question: How do I make the script to run the 3rd step only after refresh so that the stored data doesn't override itself?
Current code:
var OrderIdOld = document.getElementsByClassName("row-title"); // Select every single element with ClassName "row-title"
var x = (OrderIdOld[0].innerText); // Get the string of the first element of the class "row-title"
var compareOld = x.slice(-1); // Get the last element of the string (since it will be a number, we can change the string into a number easily later)
localStorage.setItem("compareOld", compareOld); // Store this element in local storage, so that it can be used after page reloads.
setInterval ("window.location.reload()", 30000); // Reload page every 30 secs.
var remembered = localStorage.getItem("compareOld"); // Assign stored element to a new var.
var n = compareOld.valueOf(); // Turn stored element into a number (for easy comparison later).
var OrderIdNew = document.getElementsByClassName("row-title"); // Select every single element with ClassName "row-title"
var y = (OrderIdNew[0].innerText); // Get the string of the first element of the class "row-title"
var compareNew = y.slice(-1); // Get the last element of the string (since it will be a number, we can change the string into a number easily later)
var m = compareNew.valueOf(); // Turn fetched element into a number (for easy comparison later).

Additional: I have gathered the parts of the code from various Questions on stackoverflow. Meaning, I have been searching about this topic for the past week. This is my first questions ever. Hopefully I formatted the question so that it easy to understand.
EDIT: The issue has been solved. I used the idea of only running the first step of function on the first load of page. This post helped me to get functionality working https://stackoverflow.com/a/22334768/7929506
The working code looks like this:
function beep() {
window.open('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ3zPIj2O5k','_blank');
}
if (sessionStorage.getItem("visit") == null) {
var OrderIdOld = document.getElementsByClassName("row-title")[0].innerText.slice(-1).valueOf();
sessionStorage.setItem("OrderIdOld", OrderIdOld);
sessionStorage.setItem("visit", new Date());
setTimeout("window.location.reload()", 10000);
}
else {
var OrderIdNew = document.getElementsByClassName("row-title")[0].innerText.slice(-1).valueOf();
var x = sessionStorage.getItem("OrderIdOld");
if (x==OrderIdNew) {
setTimeout("window.location.reload()", 10000);
}
else {
beep();
var x = sessionStorage.getItem("OrderIdOld");
sessionStorage.removeItem("OrderIdOld");
sessionStorage.removeItem("visit");
setTimeout("window.location.reload()", 10000);
}
}
When you refresh the page first time, you can simply append a flag variable to URL to identify weather its a refresh or a first time load. Based on that, you can pass a localized variable to script and if that is set then you need to refresh else not.

keeping localStorage objects that iterate whilst using clear() within the same function

I'm trying to clear all local storage when the user either completes the game loop or starts a new game, but also keep some values.
I can do this already with my sound values for volume:
// inside a conditional statement that fires when the user chooses to start a new game.
if (newGameBool === '1') {
var tst = myAu;
//myAu is the stored value that the user sets as sound using a range type input
localStorage.clear();
localStorage.setItem("Au", tst);//A newly cleared localStorage just got a new value, and it's the same as it was before.
UI.myLoad();//reload the function that uses LS to do things.
}
How do I do this for key's that have an iterating number attached to them?
Here is how I save them:
var i = +v + +1;
localStorage.setItem("v", i);
var vv = localStorage.getItem("v");
localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + vv, JSON.stringify(LdrBrd));//saves all data with the iterating key name.
Calling them the way i did the sound function:
var gv = v + 1;//v calls the value from LS and adjusted for off-by-one error. gv is a local variable.
if (newGameBool === '1') {
var ldd, vg;
for (var ii = 0; ii < gv; ii++) {
var ld = localStorage.getItem("LdrBrd_" + ii);
if (ld != null) {
//these are the values that i want to pass beyond the clear point
ldd = JSON.parse(ld);//JSON string of data saved
vg = ii;//how many of them.
}
}
localStorage.clear();
for (var xx = 0; xx < vg; xx++) {
var nld = localStorage.getItem("LdrBrd_" + xx);
if (nld != null) {
localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + ii, JSON.stringify(ldd));
}
}
localStorage.setItem("v", vg);
UI.myLoad();
}
I have been using console.log() in various spots to see what is going on. I comment-out the clear function just to see if the values were wrong and they don't save all all. I tried to make a fiddle, but the local storage wasn't working at all there. In visual studio, it works fine but the script to this file is almost 2000 lines long, so i tried to dress it up the best i knew how.
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
I was stuck on this for a few days, but i think i found something that will work, so i'll answer my own question in case there is value in posterity.
locatStorage.clear();
/* ^LS clear() function is above all new setItem codes, some variables are declared globally and some are declared at the top of the functional scope or as param^ */
var itemClass = document.querySelectorAll(".itemClass");//the strings are here
if (itemClass) {//make sure some exist
for (var p = 0; p < itemClass.length; p++) {//count them
mdd = JSON.parse(itemClass[p].innerText);//parse the data for saving
localStorage.setItem("v", v);//this is the LS item that saves the amount of items i have, it's declared at the top of the functions timeline.
localStorage.setItem("LdrBrd_" + p, JSON.stringify(mdd));//this setItem function will repeat and increment with 'p' and assign the right string back to the key name it had before.
}
}
The key is to keep the strings physically attached to an element, then call the class name. The i ran a loop counting them. 'mdd' will spit back each item i want. So then all that is left to do is re-set the item back to it's original status.
This has allowed me to create a way for my users to collect trophies and keep them even after clearing the localStorage when the he/she decides to start a new game.
I use CSS to hide the text from the string.
color:transparent;
In my gameLoop, i have a function that will read the saved strings and show them as cards just below the hidden strings.
Since you want to keep some values I recommend one of two things:
Don't call localStorage.clear() and instead only wipe out the values that you want using localStorage.removeItem('itemName'). Since you said the item names have a numeric component, maybe you can do this in a loop to reduce code.
Pull item(s) that you want saved first and restore them after calling clear(). This option is best if there are way more items that you want removed rather than saved (see below)
function mostlyClear() {
var saveMe = {};
saveMe['value1'] = localStorage.getItem('value1');
saveMe['anotherValue'] = localStorage.getItem('anotherValue');
localStorage.clear();
for(var prop in saveMe) {
if(!saveMe.hasOwnProperty(prop)) continue;
localStorage.setItem(prop, saveMe[prop]);
}
}

localStorage value turns back into zero

I made some kind a game using HTML, CSS, JS, AJAX AND PHP.
However, in order to save the user's best score, I used localStorage (for the first time).
For some reason, even though the best score is being displayed in the "best score" box while the user
is still playing (as I wanted), it's being removed when you refresh the page, and turns into 0 again (which
I defined as the default value).
Can someone please point at the problem for me?
Here is the specific part of the code:
$(".pi_tab .best_result #score").html(localStorage.record);
$("#pi_input").keyup(function() { // On pressing a digit
var num = parseInt($("#counter").html()); // Convert counter's value to integer
if (!isNaN(num)) // If it's a legal number
{
if (num + 1 > localStorage.record) // If it's the score is a new record
{
localStorage.record = num + 1; // Update record
$(".pi_tab .best_result #score").html(localStorage.record); // Show record as "Best Score"
}
}
});
Try to use this code pattern from w3schools: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
Use setItem and getItem to set/get the data, in my opinion your code is creating another property on localStorage object called record which more likely same as other javascript variable
Try to use the property setItem :
localStorage.setItem("key", "value");
UPDATE
Note: Name/value pairs are always stored as strings. Remember to convert them to another format when needed!
Source : W3Schools
You execute :
if (num + 1 > localStorage.getItem("record")) // If it's the score is a new record
{
localStorage.setItem("record",num + 1);
...
}
Maybe it's your problem.
Replace by :
var record = num + 1;
var localRecord = localStorage.getItem("record");
if (record > parseInt(localRecord)) // If it's the score is a new record
{
localStorage.setItem("record", record);
...
}
