šŸ“ Set and read cookies or local storage from the Glide App

Soā€¦ My new project is to set up cookies or local storage from the Glide Appā€¦
I wonder if anybody has come up with a better solutionā€¦?

I used W3 as my interface for a Google Web Appā€¦ and it worksā€¦ please try itā€¦

Please set up your browser storage and read it on the next refreshā€¦ you can see that it stays when you inspect the pageā€¦ and the Glide component can read itā€¦

I tested it on many devices and browsersā€¦ and it worksā€¦
here is the link to my Glide app that handles it:

I think this post will be a most clicked or a banā€¦ LOL
After entering a new valueā€¦ refresh the pageā€¦ you will see the value is there!.. and you never log in to my App :crazy_face:

How does it work? Does the update cookie action count towards updates if the user is logged in?

I do only free plans and zero updates :wink:
Thatā€™s why Iā€™m the most banned Glider LOL

Your topic seems interesting but I donā€™t have a as deep technical knowhow as you do, maybe you could explain more.

For instance, I understand cookies, I understand local storage, but I donā€™t understand how these are related or how your one approach could address both cookies and local storage.

If your approach is truly useful to the community, it might benefit from a little more explanation. If on the other hand you think the approach is questionable, perhaps itā€™s best not to share it?

Either way, interesting topic.

Exactly, I donā€™t see how itā€™s useful if itā€™s not explained

It has been tested so many timesā€¦ I hope it works anywhere. Have you tried it?

It is the million-dollar $ workaround, so I canā€™t explain it in detail hereā€¦ lol.

I havenā€™t tried it. I would be more interested in understanding the workings of your setup as a builder (if they are acceptable) rather than experiencing it as an end user.

Click the linkā€¦ enter the valueā€¦ refresh ā€¦ and see the magicā€¦ copy the link and put it in a different browserā€¦ it will not show the value.

So is it a ā€œLook what I can get ya for some $ā€ post? I donā€™t see any value for the community in it then

Knowing that you can do magic with Glide is of considerable value. It is a showcase topic.
My posts brought so many paid users to Glideā€¦ that I have no idea why they are still banning me. LOL

Itā€™s magic only if it doesnā€™t count towards updates for signed in users. As for guests, mere US-columns is enough

Zero!.. and everything is unlimitedā€¦ this is my specialty

The community is for builders who share what and how they build. When everyone brings that, everyone benefits. When it becomes a marketplace, nobody does. There is a template store for that.

Yep, I have my template storeā€¦ and you can benefit from itā€¦ also i have a free version of itā€¦ the Code BOOK you can use it for freeā€¦ click my avatar

Is the value from local storage available to use in Glide?
When you are typing the value into the field, itā€™s hard to believe it doesnā€™t count towards updates if the user is signed in

The way it worksā€¦ You can store the app progress, settings, and user identity of any user in the browserā€™s local storage. Then, retrieve it from the browser. It does not take any rows or updates. Itā€™s pure JAVA.
@tuzin if you type to USCā€¦ there are no updatesā€¦ i donā€™t need my users to be signed in :wink:

They will ban me foreverā€¦ LOL

So you type to USC, this means there are updates IF the user is signed in. You donā€™t need your users to sign in, I do in 99% of the projects. So it doesnā€™t solve anything

My apps have unlimited usersā€¦ they sign in to my Users tableā€¦ not to Glide Userā€™s tableā€¦ I think it is the first time you have seen my solutionsā€¦ so you are unaware of what I do.
I have great respect for Glide and Davidā€¦ so I will end my explanations on this pointā€¦ you are welcome to become my customerā€¦ and trust meā€¦ i do monitor my customers so they do not share those workaroundsā€¦

To hell with your apps, we build our apps the way Glide designed and will not change the workflow completely to match your abusive and doubtful workarounds

Do not change itā€¦ is not for you :wink:
ā€¦ but I know you are going to spend a few weeks trying to reproduce my solution LOL
