ServerStorage

serverStorage(string | variable)

Description

serverStorage allows you to save string data on the server so it is available next time you run the program. An entry can be created by assigning to serverStorage.setItem(variableName, value), where variableName is chosen by you. Data is retrieved the same way.

serverStorage is shared among all apps deployed from the same web server. This can be useful if you have a family of apps which need to share data.

This feature is currently experimental. It only works on apps deployed to nsbapp.com. It will not work locally or on your server at this time. Since the data is on the nsbapp.com test server, do not assume that data you save will be permanently available.
