Ionic is an open-source UI toolkit for building cross-platform applications using HTML, CSS, and TypeScript. Integrating with popular front-end frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue, Ionic empowers you to build rich user experiences that you can deploy on the web, mobile, or desktop.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the core products and services of Ionic, emphasizing CLI, CapacitorJS, and Stencil Web Components. You’ll build on this foundation by exploring UI components, core features of Typescript, Angular routing/navigation, theming, data storage, asynchronous data handling, the rxJS library, and much more. Also, you'll be exposed to various Ionic plug-ins and components before concluding with 4 case studies of real-world application development.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to build cross-platform Ionic applications and submit them to the Apple App and Google Play stores, publish as Progressive Web Apps, or deliver via Electron desktop applications.

# Saving data within the application
Within this case study, we'll be using the Capacitor Storage plugin to manage the persistence of data such as favorite movies and saved searches.

Capacitor Storage relies on the following mechanisms:
* **Browser local storage** for #key# PWAs: Progressive Web Apps #key#
* The [**`UserDefaults`** on iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/userdefaults)
* The [**`SharedPreferences`** on Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences)

The Storage plugin provides a simple key-value data store mechanism and is not intended for more "serious" or enterprise-level data requirements.

When using the Capacitor Storage (or similar key-value storage mechanisms such as Ionic Storage or LocalStorage), consider this to be a persistence mechanism for “lower-level” data (like a caching store).

> **Note:** If you are looking to store important business-related data and/or require the ability to perform queries on that data, consider using a database such as MongoDB, Firestore, or SQLite instead.

Capacitor Storage works on String values, but can store more complex data structures, including Arrays and Blobs, simply by using `JSON.stringify` on the data object before saving it into Storage.

The API is fairly simple and should be familiar from the Data Storage chapter where we explored using Ionic Storage:
* The `get`method
* The `set`method
* The `clear`method
* The `remove`method
* The `keys`method
* The `migrate`method
* The `removeOld`method

We’ll make use of the `get`, `set`, and `keys` API methods in our custom storage service, which will simply provide asynchronous wrappers around the pre-existing Storage API methods we’ve chosen to use.

# The `StorageService`
In the `src/app/services/storage.service.ts` `StorageService` class, we make the following amendments (highlighted):
