Cache Storage API Calls LOW-MEDIUM reduces expensive I/O javascript, localStorage, storage, caching, performance

Cache Storage API Calls

localStorage, sessionStorage, and document.cookie are synchronous and expensive. Cache reads in memory.

Incorrect (reads storage on every call):

function getTheme() {
  return localStorage.getItem('theme') ?? 'light'
}
// Called 10 times = 10 storage reads

Correct (Map cache):

const storageCache = new Map<string, string | null>()

function getLocalStorage(key: string) {
  if (!storageCache.has(key)) {
    storageCache.set(key, localStorage.getItem(key))
  }
  return storageCache.get(key)
}

function setLocalStorage(key: string, value: string) {
  localStorage.setItem(key, value)
  storageCache.set(key, value)  // keep cache in sync
}

Use a Map (not a hook) so it works everywhere: utilities, event handlers, not just React components.

Cookie caching:

let cookieCache: Record<string, string> | null = null

function getCookie(name: string) {
  if (!cookieCache) {
    cookieCache = Object.fromEntries(
      document.cookie.split('; ').map(c => c.split('='))
    )
  }
  return cookieCache[name]
}

Important (invalidate on external changes):

If storage can change externally (another tab, server-set cookies), invalidate cache:

window.addEventListener('storage', (e) => {
  if (e.key) storageCache.delete(e.key)
})

document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
  if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') {
    storageCache.clear()
  }
})
