## Cache Storage API Calls
`localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, and `document.cookie` are synchronous and expensive. Cache reads in memory.
**Incorrect (reads storage on every call):**
```typescript
function getTheme() {
return localStorage.getItem('theme') ?? 'light'
}
// Called 10 times = 10 storage reads
```
**Correct (Map cache):**
```typescript
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:**
```typescript
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:
```typescript
window.addEventListener('storage', (e) => {
if (e.key) storageCache.delete(e.key)
})
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') {
storageCache.clear()
}
})
```
