To use localStorage within an iframe, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Access the parent window object in the iframe:
1
const parentWindow = window.parent;


  1. Use the localStorage property of the parent window to store and retrieve data:

3

5
// To set data in localStorage
parentWindow.localStorage.setItem('key', 'value');

// To get data from localStorage
const data = parentWindow.localStorage.getItem('key');


  1. Make sure to handle errors and check for browser support for localStorage:

// Checking for browser support
if (parentWindow.localStorage) {
   // localStorage is supported
} else {
   // localStorage is not supported
}


By following these steps, you can easily access and use localStorage within an iframe to store and retrieve data.
