dcc.Store

The dcc.Store component is used to store JSON data in the browser.

For more information and examples, refer to Part 4 of the Dash tutorial on Sharing Data Between Callbacks.

Retrieving the Initial Store Data

If you use the data prop as an output, you cannot get the
initial data on load with the data prop. To counter this,
you can use the modified_timestamp as Input and the data as State.

Storage Limitations

The maximum browser storage space is determined by the following factors:
- Mobile or laptop
- The browser, under which a sophisticated algorithm is implemented within Quota Management
- Storage encoding where UTF-16 can end up saving only half of the size of UTF-8
- It’s generally safe to store up to 2MB in most environments, and 5~10MB in most desktop-only applications.
modified_timestamp is read only.
