SharedStorage: set() method

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The set() method of the SharedStorage interface either stores a new key-value pair in the current origin's shared storage or updates an existing one.

Syntax

js
set(key, value)
set(key, value, options)

Parameters

key

A string representing the key in the key-value pair that you want to add or update.

value

A string representing the value you want to add or update.

options Optional

An options object containing the following properties:

ignoreIfPresent

A boolean value. The value true causes the set operation to abort if a key-value pair with the specified key already exists. The default value false causes the set operation to overwrite the previous value.

Return value

A Promise that fulfills with undefined.

Exceptions

  • The Promise rejects with a TypeError if:
    • The created entry was not successfully stored in the database due to shared storage not being available (for example it is disabled using a browser setting).
    • key and/or value exceed the browser-defined maximum length.
    • The calling site does not have the Shared Storage API included in a successful privacy sandbox enrollment process.
  • In the case of WorkletSharedStorage, the Promise rejects with a TypeError if the worklet module has not been added with SharedStorageWorklet.addModule().

Note: In the case of WindowSharedStorage, if the set() operation doesn't successfully write to the database for a reason other than shared storage not being available, no error is thrown — the operation still fulfills with undefined.

Examples

js
window.sharedStorage
  .set("ab-testing-group", "0", {
    ignoreIfPresent: true,
  })
  .then(() => console.log("Set operation completed"));
