this.addToCart = function(id,name,category,price) {

        alert(id+"name"+name);
        var eachProduct = [
                {
                    "name": name,
                    "id": id,
                    "category":category,
                    "price":price
                }
            ];

        //$scope.obj = item;
        //alert($scope.obj.name);
        alert("product Name :"+eachProduct[0].name);

        var arrayList = [];
        arraylist.push(eachProduct);

        sessionStorage.setItem("addedProductsList", eachProduct);

        return "success";

and I am retrieving the values arrayList from the sessionStorage

var retrieveArray= sessionStorage.addedProductsList;
alert(retrieveArray.eachProduct[0].name);//getting undefined

  • Try replacing: alert(retrieveArray.eachProduct[0].name); with alert(retrieveArray[0].name); Commented Jun 9, 2014 at 8:45

Local- and SessionStorage is intented to be used with primitive data types. You need to convert your array to a string before saving it:

sessionStorage.setItem('addedProductsList', JSON.stringify(eachProduct));

and parse it back to an array when retrieving it:

var retrieveArray= JSON.parse(sessionStorage.addedProductsList);

Local and session storage store string values, and that is the only data type they store.

@JLRishe Yep, you're right. My point was that storing a number still works better than storing arrays or objects, even though you get a String and not a Number back.
