LocalStorage Saves

[TheoR74]

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, Cer Version 3.1846.1637.

When trying, either from the sample local storage page, or from my own version, to save to localstorage via jacascript (localStorage.SetItem and localStorage.GetItem). It appears to work OK. But when I quit the application and go back in, the data is not there.

Is there something that needs to be set to have it use local storage?

Thanks,
Theo

You need to set CefSettings.cache_path.

Forgive me for sounding very dumb here, but.... What should I set it to?

The full path where you want the cache data to persist on disk. For example:

Code: Select all

CefString(&settings.cache_path).FromASCII("c:\\temp\\cache");

Can I set it to be the same directory where the executable is at?

Actually, I see now if I don't specify the path, just the folder name, that goes where I want.

This works great. Thanks for you help!!!

You shouldn't rely on this. It will likely be relative to the active working directory and may not always be the path you want.

Is there a way to tell it to use the application path?

You can use GetModuleFileName to figure out your application path, but storing data there will get pretty messy and you'll most likely run into Windows security restrictions. It's better to store this kind of stuff in your application's AppData folder.
