## Version and Minimize localStorage Data
Add version prefix to keys and store only needed fields. Prevents schema conflicts and accidental storage of sensitive data.
**Incorrect:**
```typescript
// No version, stores everything, no error handling
localStorage.setItem('userConfig', JSON.stringify(fullUserObject))
const data = localStorage.getItem('userConfig')
```
**Correct:**
```typescript
const VERSION = 'v2'
function saveConfig(config: { theme: string; language: string }) {
try {
localStorage.setItem(`userConfig:${VERSION}`, JSON.stringify(config))
} catch {
// Throws in incognito/private browsing, quota exceeded, or disabled
}
}
function loadConfig() {
try {
const data = localStorage.getItem(`userConfig:${VERSION}`)
return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null
} catch {
return null
}
}
// Migration from v1 to v2
function migrate() {
try {
const v1 = localStorage.getItem('userConfig:v1')
if (v1) {
const old = JSON.parse(v1)
saveConfig({ theme: old.darkMode ? 'dark' : 'light', language: old.lang })
localStorage.removeItem('userConfig:v1')
}
} catch {}
}
```
**Store minimal fields from server responses:**
```typescript
// User object has 20+ fields, only store what UI needs
function cachePrefs(user: FullUser) {
try {
localStorage.setItem('prefs:v1', JSON.stringify({
theme: user.preferences.theme,
notifications: user.preferences.notifications
}))
} catch {}
}
```
**Always wrap in try-catch:** `getItem()` and `setItem()` throw in incognito/private browsing (Safari, Firefox), when quota exceeded, or when disabled.
**Benefits:** Schema evolution via versioning, reduced storage size, prevents storing tokens/PII/internal flags.
