我正在做以下事情:

getLocalStorageSizeLimit = function () {

    var maxLength = Math.pow(2,24);
    var preLength = 0;
    var hugeString = "0";
    var testString;
    var keyName = "testingLengthKey";

    //2^24 = 16777216 should be enough to all browsers
    testString = (new Array(Math.pow(2, 24))).join("X");

    while (maxLength !== preLength) {
        try  {
            localStorage.setItem(keyName, testString);

            preLength = testString.length;
            maxLength = Math.ceil(preLength + ((hugeString.length - preLength) / 2));

            testString = hugeString.substr(0, maxLength);
        } catch (e) {
            hugeString = testString;

            maxLength = Math.floor(testString.length - (testString.length - preLength) / 2);
            testString = hugeString.substr(0, maxLength);
        }
    }

    localStorage.removeItem(keyName);

    // Original used this.storageObject in place of localStorage.  I can only guess the goal is to check the size of the localStorage with everything but the testString given that maxLength is then added.
    maxLength = JSON.stringify(localStorage).length + maxLength + keyName.length - 2;

    return maxLength;
};

不要认为5MB是可用的——local存储容量因浏览器而异，2.5MB、5MB和无限是最常见的值。 来源:http://dev-test.nemikor.com/web-storage/support-test/

曾经我开发了Chrome(桌面浏览器)扩展，并为此测试了本地存储的实际最大大小。

我的结果:

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (64-bit)
Chrome 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Local Storage content size 10240 KB (10 MB)

超过10240 KB的使用返回我的错误:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setItem' on 'Storage':设置'notes'的值超过配额。

对于一个Chrome扩展可用Chrome。存储API。如果你在manifest.js中声明了“storage”权限:

{
    "name": "My extension",
    ...
    "permissions": ["storage"],
    ...
}

你可以像这样访问它:

chrome.storage.local.QUOTA_BYTES // 5242880 (in bytes)

我正在做以下事情:

getLocalStorageSizeLimit = function () {

    var maxLength = Math.pow(2,24);
    var preLength = 0;
    var hugeString = "0";
    var testString;
    var keyName = "testingLengthKey";

    //2^24 = 16777216 should be enough to all browsers
    testString = (new Array(Math.pow(2, 24))).join("X");

    while (maxLength !== preLength) {
        try  {
            localStorage.setItem(keyName, testString);

            preLength = testString.length;
            maxLength = Math.ceil(preLength + ((hugeString.length - preLength) / 2));

            testString = hugeString.substr(0, maxLength);
        } catch (e) {
            hugeString = testString;

            maxLength = Math.floor(testString.length - (testString.length - preLength) / 2);
            testString = hugeString.substr(0, maxLength);
        }
    }

    localStorage.removeItem(keyName);

    // Original used this.storageObject in place of localStorage.  I can only guess the goal is to check the size of the localStorage with everything but the testString given that maxLength is then added.
    maxLength = JSON.stringify(localStorage).length + maxLength + keyName.length - 2;

    return maxLength;
};

实际上Opera没有5MB的限制。它提供了增加限制的应用程序需要更多。用户甚至可以为一个域选择“无限存储”。

您可以自己轻松地测试localStorage限制/配额。

我真的很喜欢cdmckay的答案，但它并不真的看起来很好，实时检查大小:它太慢了(对我来说2秒)。这是改进的版本，它更快，更准确，也有一个选项来选择误差的大小(默认为250000，误差越小-计算时间越长):

function getLocalStorageMaxSize(error) {
  if (localStorage) {
    var max = 10 * 1024 * 1024,
        i = 64,
        string1024 = '',
        string = '',
        // generate a random key
        testKey = 'size-test-' + Math.random().toString(),
        minimalFound = 0,
        error = error || 25e4;

    // fill a string with 1024 symbols / bytes    
    while (i--) string1024 += 1e16;

    i = max / 1024;

    // fill a string with 'max' amount of symbols / bytes    
    while (i--) string += string1024;

    i = max;

    // binary search implementation
    while (i > 1) {
      try {
        localStorage.setItem(testKey, string.substr(0, i));
        localStorage.removeItem(testKey);

        if (minimalFound < i - error) {
          minimalFound = i;
          i = i * 1.5;
        }
        else break;
      } catch (e) {
        localStorage.removeItem(testKey);
        i = minimalFound + (i - minimalFound) / 2;
      }
    }

    return minimalFound;
  }
}

测试:

console.log(getLocalStorageMaxSize()); // takes .3s
console.log(getLocalStorageMaxSize(.1)); // takes 2s, but way more exact

对于标准错误，这工作得快得多;而且，在必要的时候，它可以更加精确。
