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

So… My new project is to set up cookies or local storage from the Glide App…
I wonder if anybody has come up with a better solution…?

I used W3 as my interface for a Google Web App… and it works… please try it…

Please set up your browser storage and read it on the next refresh… you can see that it stays when you inspect the page… and the Glide component can read it…

I tested it on many devices and browsers… and it works…
here is the link to my Glide app that handles it:

I think this post will be a most clicked or a ban… LOL
After entering a new value… refresh the page… 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:
That’s why I’m the most banned Glider LOL

Your topic seems interesting but I don’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 don’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 it’s best not to share it?

Either way, interesting topic.

Exactly, I don’t see how it’s useful if it’s not explained

It has been tested so many times… I hope it works anywhere. Have you tried it?

It is the million-dollar $ workaround, so I can’t explain it in detail here… lol.

I haven’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 link… enter the value… refresh … and see the magic… copy the link and put it in a different browser… it will not show the value.

So is it a ā€œLook what I can get ya for some $ā€ post? I don’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 Glide… that I have no idea why they are still banning me. LOL

It’s magic only if it doesn’t count towards updates for signed in users. As for guests, mere US-columns is enough

Zero!.. and everything is unlimited… 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 store… and you can benefit from it… also i have a free version of it… the Code BOOK you can use it for free… click my avatar

Is the value from local storage available to use in Glide?
When you are typing the value into the field, it’s hard to believe it doesn’t count towards updates if the user is signed in

The way it works… You can store the app progress, settings, and user identity of any user in the browser’s local storage. Then, retrieve it from the browser. It does not take any rows or updates. It’s pure JAVA.
@tuzin if you type to USC… there are no updates… i don’t need my users to be signed in :wink:

They will ban me forever… LOL

So you type to USC, this means there are updates IF the user is signed in. You don’t need your users to sign in, I do in 99% of the projects. So it doesn’t solve anything

My apps have unlimited users… they sign in to my Users table… not to Glide User’s table… I think it is the first time you have seen my solutions… so you are unaware of what I do.
I have great respect for Glide and David… so I will end my explanations on this point… you are welcome to become my customer… and trust me… i do monitor my customers so they do not share those workarounds…

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 it… is not for you :wink:
… but I know you are going to spend a few weeks trying to reproduce my solution LOL
