# --description--

As you recall from previous lessons, `localStorage` is part of the Web Storage API that allows data to persist even after the browser window is closed or the page is refreshed.

Here is a reminder of how to set an item in `localStorage`:

```js
localStorage.setItem("key", value); // value could be string, number, or any other data type
```

A `myTaskArr` array has been provided for you. Use the `setItem()` method to save it with a key of `data`.

# --hints--

Your `localStorage.setItem()` should have a key of `"data"`.

```js
assert.match(code, /localStorage\.setItem\(\s*("|')data\1/)
```

Your `localStorage.setItem()` should have a value of `myTaskArr`.

```js
assert.match(code, /localStorage\.setItem\(\s*("|')data\1\s*,\s*myTaskArr\s*\)\s*;?/)
```
