Data storage is a vital feature for applications that wish to monitor user progress, facilitate login or perform various other functions. There are many methods to store user data however the most efficient solution is determined by the issue you’re trying solve.
Local storage is ideal for storing small amounts of data that don’t require instant syncing, such as login or user registration data. It’s only accessible with client-side code and is restricted by the size of a hard drive. Server-side scripts are unable to alter it. Also local storage is susceptible to data loss when the application is deleted or the device is reset.
Database storage is perfect for storing larger amounts of data that need to be edited. It allows you to keep records of the data of your users by storing their unique identifier in http://www.virtuadata.net/how-to-organize-the-data-room-ma a database table and referencing that identifier when accessing the database. This is more complex than other options for data storage however it is an ideal choice for enterprise-level or large-scale applications that require storage of user data across multiple sessions.
WebView2 stores the data of your browser using UDFs. This includes permissions, cookies and cached resources. This data expires based on the user’s Web & App Activity settings. It’s also possible to be cleared manually by the user via Actions on Google. To store additional user data you must define a custom UDF location that has write access to the WebView2. See the WinUI 3.cs file in the WebView2Samples repo for an example of how to do this with ICoreWebView2Environment7.
