Topic: MDBStorage with check throws error

drimaco free asked 2 years ago


Expected behavior Check "is-user-confirmed" in 0.5 time to check it later with a if statement.

Actual behavior "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'is-user-confirmed')" in console every 3 seconds - globally in project. Callback also isnt logged. Dosnt matter if is-user-confirmed exists or not.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

const [isUserConfirmed] = useMDBStorage("is-user-confirmed", false, {
    time: 0.5,
    callback: () => {
    console.log("callback"); }, 
});

Hi!

This error is shown because there's no expiration time for that storage item. You have to use it like that:

const [isUserConfirmed, { setItem: setIsUserConfirmed }] = useMDBStorage("is-user-confirmed", false, {
    time: 0.5,
    callback: () => {
    console.log("callback"); }, 
});

and somewhere in the code, i.e.:

<MDBBtn onClick={() => setIsUserConfirmed(true, 1)}>Click</MDBBtn>

Now the expiration time is set in the dedicated "expiryList" storage element. It will check this item every half of the second (according to your code) and the callback will fire when this element is expired :)

Keep coding!
