When it comes to keeping track of multiple tallies in localStorage, one question arises: Is it more efficient to store and retrieve several small data points individually or as one larger chunk?
For example:
localStorage.setItem('id1', tally1);
localStorage.setItem('id2', tally2);
for(var i=0; i<tallyIds.length; i++){
this.tallies.push(tallyIds[i], localStorage.getItem(tallyIds[i]));
}
Or consider this approach:
localStorage.setItem('tallies', '[{"id1": tally1}, {"id2": tally2}"]');
this.tallies = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('tallies'));
While storing each tally separately may prevent the loss of all data if some is cleared by the device periodically, consolidating them into a single string could result in losing everything at once. However, would looping through a few hundred items significantly slow down the process?
