# Browser Storage Component

The Browser Storage component reads from, writes to, or deletes data in the browser's local or session storage. Use it to persist data between sessions or pass data between modules without a server round-trip.

> **How to read settings tables**
> 
> The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the UnqorkAI platform. Values are formatted as follows: `inline code` — a value to type exactly as shown | **Bold** — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | **ON**/**OFF** — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked

## General Settings

| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Property ID | `key` | Text input | `browserStorage` | The unique identifier for this component instance. |

| Set Filter to | `comparison` | Drop-down | The comparison type for the filter. |
| Mapping | `mapping` | Text input | The data source component ID to compare against. |
| Required | `required` | ☐/✓ | When checked, this setting marks this filter as required. |
| Exclude | `exclude` | ☐/✓ | When checked, this setting excludes this field from the operation. |
| Optional | `optional` | ☐/✓ | When checked, this setting marks this filter as optional. |

A Property ID is the unique field ID used by Unqork to track and link components in your module.

Canvas Label Text indicates the purpose of the corresponding field or component. For non-input components, the Canvas Label Text isn't end-user facing, and only appears in the .

Enter outputs components and actions you want the component to perform.

An object is a type of data structure that represents a single, self-contained entity that acts as a container for the characteristics of that entity.

A key-value pair is a fundamental data structure where a unique "key" is associated with a specific "value," used for organizing and retrieving data efficiently, like in dictionaries or databases.

The Post Trigger value fires after a component has completed its action. For example, post triggering a component to display the data received from a Plug-In component's API call.

The Number data type accepts integer or floating point values. The number data type does not use quotes around numerical values.
