How to set timer not to reset when page is reload (JavaScript)

Question

Here is my JavaScript code. I want to avoid resetting timer when the page is refreshed.

const startingMinutes = 1;
let time = startingMinutes * 60;

const countdownEl = document.getElementById('countdown');

setInterval(updateCountDown, 1000);

    function updateCountDown() {
        const minutes = Math.floor(time/60);
        let seconds = time % 60;
    
        countdownEl.innerHTML = `${minutes}: ${seconds}`;
    
        if (time>0) {
            time--;
        }
    }

Answer 1

Store the current counter variable in local storage.

Hope this helps.
