Save user input even if app or webpage is refreshed/closed...

Question

I was working on a code and I realised that I had no idea how to save an input from user after the webpage is refreshed or closed (for example the "username" or the points for a leaderboard...). What kind of methods or what kind of framework/library/language can be used to reach this???

Answer 1

Okay, it depends what you're saving

Your user accounts, leaderboard scores, etc... (any data that we'll want to use later) should be stored inside of a database. This is more secure than storing it locally, and will help prevent users from manipulating data they shouldn't.

However, if you want to have a "Remember Me?" feature that saves the username in the input field, then you can just store that information inside of a cookie. Cookies are stored on the local machine, so you don't want to have any sensitive information stored in a cookie. It's great for storing data to use later, and is why most websites remember a lot of your preferences.

Answer 2

Well, the first option is what I was asking for.
So I have to learn database...
But as I said I don't have the slightest idea about how it works😅😕😕
Any advise, short description, example or rescourse??

^Learn that. It's first step to dealing with most databases. From my experience, your knowledge of SQL usually translates to most languages that allow you to deal with databases (which is most).
