You want to use it on the JavaScript client side?

Are you planning on using it later in a callback?

Here are two ways that you can interact with localStorage without using the server callback.

The first is through a client\_side callback:

> **[Clientside Callbacks | Dash for Python Documentation | Plotly](https://dash.plotly.com/clientside-callbacks)**
>
> You might want to execute a callback in the frontend as opposed to the backend if you want to avoid the extra time that it takes to make a roundtrip to the server. Clientside callbacks allow you to write your callbacks in JavaScript that runs in the...

The second is through straight javascript:

```auto
data = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("data"))

localStorage.setItem("data", JSON.stringify(data))

```

Javascript updates will become out of sync with the server, which will case issues for callback’s down the line. However, if you only plan on pulling data, then you shouldnt encounter issues.
