How to Use localStorage with a Custom Hook in React for Photo Count Tracking

When developing a React application, you may want to keep track of user interactions, such as counting the number of uploaded photos. In this case, we're focusing on using localStorage with a custom hook to maintain a counter. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a robust solution to store a photo counter and address common issues that arise.

Understanding the Problem

You began by trying to implement a photo upload feature with a counter initialized at zero. However, you encountered problems stemming from the way state was handled and stored in localStorage. The relevant errors included instances of undefined when trying to access the orderCount, and improper JSON parsing resulting in crashes.

To solve this problem, we will create a custom React hook that interacts with localStorage and manages the state effectively.

Creating the Custom Hook

The first step is crafting a custom hook that handles the logic for storing data in localStorage. Here’s how to set it up:

LocalStorage.js

Explanation

getStorageValue function: Retrieves the stored value from localStorage. It parses the JSON string back to an object and checks if the value is null or undefined, returning a default value if necessary.

useLocalStorage hook: Manages the state for the value and updates localStorage whenever the value changes.

Implementing the Counter Hook

Now that we have our localStorage hook, we can create a hook to manage the photo counter.

Count.js

Details

useOrderCountHook: This function uses the useLocalStorage hook to track the order count. It initializes the counter to zero and provides a method to increment the value.

changeOrderCount: This function updates the count stored in local storage by increasing the current count by one.

Integrating the Hook in the Component

The final step is to use this hook within the component responsible for handling the photo uploads.

Profile.js

Key Points

Using the Hook: The orderHook is used to access the current count and the function to update it.

Conditional Rendering: The counter display checks if orderCount is defined to avoid any undefined errors.

Conclusion

With this setup, you can effectively manage a photo count in a React application using localStorage. Not only have we implemented a way to store and retrieve the count using a custom hook, but we've also addressed potential issues that can arise with undefined values. This approach can be reused in various parts of your application, making it a valuable addition to your React toolkit.

By following this guide, you'll be able to more effectively manage user interactions in your apps while ensuring data persists across sessions.
