在不同的浏览器中打开页面时，令牌没有保存在$ window.sessionStorage中

Question

I'm initializing the token that is generated after I log in to my application in $window.sessioStorage .

var token = this.$window.sessionStorage["apiKey"];

But this token seem to be undefined when I copy the url(after log in ) and open in different browser.I'm redirected back to the login page. Does $window.sessionStorage holds the values of variables in the same browser window?Or what could be another way to retain the value of token even if I opened the page in different browser window?

Answer 1

That's the right behaviour

The sessionStorage property allows you to access a session Storage object. sessionStorage is similar to localStorage, the only difference is while data stored in localStorage has no expiration set, data stored in sessionStorage gets cleared when the page session ends. A page session lasts for as long as the browser is open and survives over page reloads and restores. Opening a page in a new tab or window will cause a new session to be initiated.

You can keep information even if the browser is closed and reopend another time by using localStorage , but, as I said, if you open other browser you'll have to set items agains.

Local storage examples here

Code example :

// set something in localStorage
localStorage.setItem('bgcolor', 'green');


// get something from localStorage
localStorage.getItem('bgcolor') // it will output green
