localStorage array.push

Could someone tell me how to push elements into an array in localStorage?
My code:
(localStorage.getItem('projects') === null) ? localStorage.setItem('projects', ['proj1', 'proj2', 'proj3']) : '';
var ItemGet = localStorage.getItem('projects');
function CreateObject() {
console.log(ItemGet);
var Serializable = JSON.parse(ItemGet);
Serializable.push('proj4');
console.log(ItemGet);
}
<button onclick="CreateObject()">Add Object</button>

General approach:
let old_data = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('projects'))
let new_data = old_data.push(some_new_data)
localStorage.setItem('projects',JSON.stringify(new_data))

I would do the following assuming that your data is not a multiDimensional array.
(localStorage.getItem('projects') === null) ? localStorage.setItem('projects',
JSON.stringify(['proj1', 'proj2', 'proj3'])) : '';
var ItemGet = localStorage.getItem('projects');
function CreateObject() {
var Serializable = JSON.parse(ItemGet);
Serializable.push('proj4');
localStorage.setItem('projects',JSON.stringify(Serializable));
}

The problem you are hitting is that data stored in localStorage has to be a string. You'll have to parse/stringify before settting/getting anything from local storage. If you didn't want to work with strings, you may find something like IndexedDB API
const stuff = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
// Stringify it before setting it
localStorage.setItem('stuff', JSON.stringify(stuff));
// Parse it after getting it
JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('stuff'));
Here is an example of using IndexedDB API from the docs
const dbName = "the_name";
var request = indexedDB.open(dbName, 2);
request.onerror = function(event) {
// Handle errors.
};
request.onupgradeneeded = function(event) {
var db = event.target.result;
// Create an objectStore to hold information about our customers. We're
// going to use "ssn" as our key path because it's guaranteed to be
// unique - or at least that's what I was told during the kickoff meeting.
var objectStore = db.createObjectStore("customers", { keyPath: "ssn" });
// Create an index to search customers by name. We may have duplicates
// so we can't use a unique index.
objectStore.createIndex("name", "name", { unique: false });
// Create an index to search customers by email. We want to ensure that
// no two customers have the same email, so use a unique index.
objectStore.createIndex("email", "email", { unique: true });
// Use transaction oncomplete to make sure the objectStore creation is
// finished before adding data into it.
objectStore.transaction.oncomplete = function(event) {
// Store values in the newly created objectStore.
var customerObjectStore = db.transaction("customers", "readwrite").objectStore("customers");
customerData.forEach(function(customer) {
customerObjectStore.add(customer);
});
};
};
There are also other solutions out there like PouchDB depending on your needs

Say for example you have an array. This is how you can store it in the local storage.
let my_array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
localStorage.setItem('local_val', JSON.stringify(my_array))
Now to push any data into the local storage array you have to override by the new data like bellow
let oldArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('local_val'))
oldArray.push(1000)
localStorage.setItem('local_val', JSON.stringify(oldArray))

How to loop on local storage objects in array or convert data in JSON

I am building ATM project and storing user data in local storage but after then I collect data and loop on this to match an existing user or creating a new user the data I can get is not be able to convert on JSON
after getting data from local storage I can't be able to convert to JSON for looping the data.
function User(id,pin,amount) {
this.id = id,
this.pin = pin,
this.amount = amount
}
var memory = [];
function loginSignup(){
var id= document.querySelector('.card').value;
var pin= document.querySelector('.pass').value;
var user = new User(id,pin);
user = JSON.stringify(user);
memory.push(user);
localStorage.setItem('user', memory);
var localData = [];
localData.push(localStorage.getItem('user'));
console.log(localData);
}
for(var i=0; i<localstorage.length; i++){
if(localstorage[i].id == id){
only allow update }
else{ update new user}
Like this is for understanding I want to loop in local storage data that users enter.

You need to use JSON.stringify while saving user data into storage:
localStorage.setItem('user', JSON.stringify(memory));
Now, whenever you need you can get the array back which will be parseable and traverseable:
var data = window.localStorage.getItem('user');
if (data) {
data = JSON.parse(data);
for (var i=0; i< data.length; i++) {
if (JSON.parse(data[i]).id == id) { // see note below
console.log("matched user", data[i])
}
else {
console.log("other user:", data[i])
}
}
}
Note; down the tree you also need to parse user-data array elements eg. JSON.parse(data[i]) because you have stringified that before pushing into memory array.

Get an unknown key name from Firebase function database trigger

I'm new to Firebase functions and trying to understand how to get a certain key from the database .onCreate trigger. Here is an example:
exports.createUserRoundData =
functions.database.ref('/data/players/{user_key}/').onCreate(event => {
var eventData = event.data.val();
var userKey = event.params.user_key;
var itemKey = eventData.items; // This returns an object
});
The structure is:
players > user_key > items > item_key > data
In the above scenario how can I retrieve the item_key?

Yes you can,
You need something like this :
exports.createUserRoundData = functions.database.ref('/data/players/{user_key}/').onCreate(event => {
var userKey = event.params.user_key; // Get user key parameter
var eventSnapshot = event.data; // Get player data
var itemsSnapshot = eventSnapshot.child('items'); // Get items data
itemsSnapshot.forEach(function(itemSnapshot) { // For each item
var itemKey = itemSnapshot.key; // Get item key
var itemData = itemSnapshot.val(); // Get item data
});
});

function return value is undefined

I'm currently working on this function, and the return value returns with undefined. I'm not sure if it is my lack of understanding how javascript operates, or it requires some tricky voodoo to make my code work.
var fs = require('fs');
var _ = require('underscore');
function eventValue(current, choice) {
var output = [];
if (current != null) {
var json;
fs.readFile('./json.json', 'utf8', function(err, data) {
if (err) {
throw err
}
json = JSON.parse(data);
// filter by ID
var filtered = _.filter(json, {
'ID': current
});
//console.log(filtered);
// Get ID of Object
var ID = _.pluck(filtered, 'ID');
// Get Next value of object
var NEXT = _.pluck(filtered, 'next');
// get nested 'choice's 'next' value
var collect = _.pluck(_.filter(
_.flatten(
_.pluck(filtered, 'choice')), {
'choice': choice
}), 'next');
var stringID = String(ID);
var stringNext = String(NEXT + collect);
output = [stringID, stringNext];
return output;
})
} else console.log("[[error]] please populate eventValue()");
};
var a = eventValue("001001A01B01");
console.log(a);

You are trying to use value returned from asynchronous function callback which you can not.

Storing arrays in localStorage error

I have a bug in my code that only saves the last object in an array upon reload. I have a feeling that my addAccount() function is not saving or inserting data correctly. Everything else works correctly. In my console, it shows that the data is being inserted into the array, but when I refresh I only get the last object saved.
I'm not sure what to do.
// The list of accounts array.
var accountsArray = [];
function addAccount() {
// Take fields and put user data into varables.
var accountName = document.getElementById('accountName').value;
var accountBalance = document.getElementById('accountBalance').value;
var accountType = document.getElementById("accountType");
var accountTypeSelected = accountType.options[accountType.selectedIndex].text;
var accountCurrency = document.getElementById("accountCurrency");
var accountCurrencySelected = accountCurrency.options[accountCurrency.selectedIndex].text;
var temporaryObject = {
'accountName': accountName,
'accountBalance': accountBalance,
'accountTypeSelected': accountTypeSelected,
'accountCurrencySelected': accountCurrencySelected
};
accountsArray.push(temporaryObject);
console.log(accountsArray);
saveAccountData();
showAccountsArray();
}
function saveAccountData() {
localStorage.setItem('accountsArray', JSON.stringify(accountsArray));
}
function showAccountsArray() {
//var accountsLocalStorage = JSON.parse(localStorage['accountsArray']);
if (localStorage.getItem("accountsArray") === null) {
document.getElementById("getStarted").style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById("balanceToolbarName").style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById("accountsMainList").style.visibility="hidden";
} else {
var accountsLocalStorage = JSON.parse(localStorage['accountsArray']);
console.log(accountsLocalStorage);
var accountInfo = '';
var i = 0;
while (i < accountsLocalStorage.length) {
accountInfo += '<li class="swipeout"><div class="swipeout-content item-content"><div class="item-inner"><div class="item-title">' + accountsLocalStorage[i].accountName + '</div><div class="item-after">$' + accountsLocalStorage[i].accountBalance + '</div></div></div><div class="swipeout-actions-left"><a href="#" class="action1">Clear</div><div class="swipeout-actions-right">Delete</div></a></li>';
document.getElementById("accountsList").innerHTML = accountInfo;
i++;
}
document.getElementById("getStarted").style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById("balanceToolbarName").style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById("accountsMainList").style.visibility="visible";
}
}

all of your functions work correctly as tested by the link you've provided. When the page loads it successfully retrieves the data (if any) from the local storage and displays on the page. However, the global array variable accountsArray is populated with data retrieved from the local storage.
You need to repopulate the global array otherwise when you call saveAccountData it will save whatever the array holds which indeed overrides whatever you had in the local storage. To fix it, simply add add this code block...
$(function(){
var data = localStorage.getItem("accountsArray");
if(data != null)
accountsArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("accountsArray"));
});
