# use​Storage

Returns the key-value `Storage` interface for the extension target.

## use​Storage()

### Returns

* Storage

  ### Storage

  A key-value storage object for extension targets.

  Stored data is only available to this specific app at this specific extension target.

  The storage backend is implemented with `localStorage` and should persist across the buyer's checkout session. However, data persistence isn't guaranteed.

  * read

    \<T = unknown>(key: string) => Promise\<T>

    Read and return a stored value by key.

    The stored data is deserialized from JSON and returned as its original primitive.

    Returns `null` if no stored data exists.

  * write

    (key: string, data: any) => Promise\<void>

    Write stored data for this key.

    The data must be serializable to JSON.

  * delete

    (key: string) => Promise\<void>

    Delete stored data by key.
