Storage: key() method - Web APIs | MDN (original) (raw)
The key()
method of the Storage interface, when passed a number n, returns the name of the nth key in a given Storage
object. The order of keys is user-agent defined, so you should not rely on it.
Syntax

Return value
A string containing the name of the key. If the index does not exist,null
is returned.
Examples
The following function iterates over the local storage keys:
function forEachKey(callback) {
for (let i = 0; i < localStorage.length; i++) {
callback(localStorage.key(i));
}
}
The following function iterates over the local storage keys and gets the value set for each key:

}
