In this article, we’ll look at how to remove all session storage items with keys that match a certain pattern with JavaScript.
How to remove all session storage items with keys that match a certain pattern with JavaScript?
To remove all session storage items with keys that match a certain pattern with JavaScript, we can loop through the keys of the items we want to remove and remove the entries with the keys.
For instance, we write:
const keys = Object.keys(sessionStorage)
.filter((k) => {
return /foo/.test(k);
})
for (const k of keys) {
sessionStorage.removeItem(k);
}
to get the keys of the items we want to remove with:
const keys = Object.keys(sessionStorage)
.filter((k) => {
return /foo/.test(k);
})
Then we loop through the keys with a for-of loop.
In it, we call sessionStorage.removeItem with key k to remove the entry with k as the key.
Conclusion
To remove all session storage items with keys that match a certain pattern with JavaScript, we can loop through the keys of the items we want to remove and remove the entries with the keys.
