Title Body

I'm trying to use chrome's local storage / sync storage (chrome.storage) for an extension, to store data entries, for many different entries. I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax for it. I only want to simply store the information as strings. I have searched and can't find anything yet that works. This is what works for me at the moment using the normal localStorage technique: var imageName = "Red Cat 5"; var myDescription = "A nice kitty"; localStorage.setItem (imageName, myDescription); console.log(localStorage[imageName]); This works and lets me set the key from an existing variable. How can I do it using chrome.storage.local.set? I have been trying this without any success: var imageName = "Red Cat 5"; var myDescription = "A nice kitty"; chrome.storage.local.set({imageName: myDescription}, function() {console.log('success?');}); chrome.storage.local.set({imageName: myDescription}, function() {chrome.storage.local.get(imageName, function(r){console.log(r.imageName);});}); Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! ----- UPDATE BELOW ----- Thanks for the explanation with the code. I hope it helps anyone else. There seems to be little information available on doing this! Your answer helped me come up with this: var nameOne = "al"; var nameTwo = "bob"; var nameThree = "carl"; var nameFour = "dan"; var dataObj = {}; dataObj[nameOne] = nameTwo; dataObj[nameThree] = nameFour; storage.set(dataObj); storage.get(dataObj, function(result) { console.log(result[nameOne]); console.log(result[nameThree]); });
