如果您熟悉浏览器的locaStorage对象，就会知道没有提供过期时间的规定。但是，我们可以使用Javascript添加一个TTL(生存时间)，使locaStorage中的项在一段时间后失效。

function setLocalStorageItem(key, value, ttl) {
    // `item` is an object which contains the original value
    // as well as the time when it's supposed to expire
    let item = {
        value: value,
        expiry: ttl ? Date.now() + ttl : null
    };

    localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(item));
}

function getLocalStorageItem(key) {
    let item = localStorage.getItem(key);
    
    // if the item doesn't exist, return null
    if (!item) return null;

    item = JSON.parse(item);
    // compare the expiry time of the item with the current time
    if (item.expiry && Date.now() > item.expiry) {
        // If the item is expired, delete the item from storage and return null
        localStorage.removeItem(key);

        return null;
    }
    
    return item.value;
}

Brynner Ferreira提出了一个很好的观点:在过期信息所在的地方存储一个兄弟密钥。这样，如果你有大量的键，或者你的值是大型Json对象，你不需要解析它们来访问时间戳。

以下是一个改进版本:

 /*  removeStorage: removes a key from localStorage and its sibling expiracy key
    params:
        key <string>     : localStorage key to remove
    returns:
        <boolean> : telling if operation succeeded
 */
 function removeStorage(name) {
    try {
        localStorage.removeItem(name);
        localStorage.removeItem(name + '_expiresIn');
    } catch(e) {
        console.log('removeStorage: Error removing key ['+ key + '] from localStorage: ' + JSON.stringify(e) );
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
/*  getStorage: retrieves a key from localStorage previously set with setStorage().
    params:
        key <string> : localStorage key
    returns:
        <string> : value of localStorage key
        null : in case of expired key or failure
 */
function getStorage(key) {

    var now = Date.now();  //epoch time, lets deal only with integer
    // set expiration for storage
    var expiresIn = localStorage.getItem(key+'_expiresIn');
    if (expiresIn===undefined || expiresIn===null) { expiresIn = 0; }

    if (expiresIn < now) {// Expired
        removeStorage(key);
        return null;
    } else {
        try {
            var value = localStorage.getItem(key);
            return value;
        } catch(e) {
            console.log('getStorage: Error reading key ['+ key + '] from localStorage: ' + JSON.stringify(e) );
            return null;
        }
    }
}
/*  setStorage: writes a key into localStorage setting a expire time
    params:
        key <string>     : localStorage key
        value <string>   : localStorage value
        expires <number> : number of seconds from now to expire the key
    returns:
        <boolean> : telling if operation succeeded
 */
function setStorage(key, value, expires) {

    if (expires===undefined || expires===null) {
        expires = (24*60*60);  // default: seconds for 1 day
    } else {
        expires = Math.abs(expires); //make sure it's positive
    }

    var now = Date.now();  //millisecs since epoch time, lets deal only with integer
    var schedule = now + expires*1000; 
    try {
        localStorage.setItem(key, value);
        localStorage.setItem(key + '_expiresIn', schedule);
    } catch(e) {
        console.log('setStorage: Error setting key ['+ key + '] in localStorage: ' + JSON.stringify(e) );
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

来自W3C草案:

只有出于安全原因或用户请求时，用户代理才应该使本地存储区域的数据过期。用户代理应始终避免在可能访问该数据的脚本运行时删除数据。

你会想要使用setItem(键，值)对你的时间表进行更新;这将使用新数据添加或更新给定的键。

为了搜索者的利益:

像Fernando一样，当存储的值很简单时，我不想添加json加载。我只需要跟踪一些UI交互并保持数据的相关性(例如，用户在结账前是如何使用电子商务网站的)。

这将不符合每个人的标准，但希望是一个快速复制+粘贴启动器为某人和节省添加另一个库。

注意:如果您需要单独检索项目，这将不太好。

// Addition
if(window.localStorage){
    localStorage.setItem('myapp-' + new Date().getTime(), 'my value');
}

// Removal of all expired items
if(window.localStorage){

    // two mins - (1000 * 60 * 20) would be 20 mins
    var expiryTime = new Date().getTime() - (1000 * 60 * 2);

    var deleteRows = [];
    for(var i=0; i < localStorage.length; i++){
        var key = localStorage.key(i);
        var partsArray = key.split('-');
        // The last value will be a timestamp
        var lastRow = partsArray[partsArray.length - 1];

        if(lastRow && parseInt(lastRow) < expiryTime){
            deleteRows.push(key);
        }
    }
    // delete old data
    for(var j=0; j < deleteRows.length; j++){
        localStorage.removeItem(deleteRows[j]);
    }
}

function setStorage(name,value){
    return localStorage.setItem(name,JSON.stringify({value:value,timestamp:Math.round((new Date()).getTime()/1000)}));
}
function getStorage(name,timeout){
    var object = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(name));
    if(object){
        if(Math.round((new Date()).getTime()/1000) < (object.timestamp+timeout)){
            return object.value;
        }else{
            localStorage.removeItem(name);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

我建议将时间戳存储在localStorage中存储的对象中

var object = {value: "value", timestamp: new Date().getTime()}
localStorage.setItem("key", JSON.stringify(object));

您可以解析对象，获取时间戳并与当前Date进行比较，如果需要，还可以更新对象的值。

var object = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("key")),
    dateString = object.timestamp,
    now = new Date().getTime().toString();

compareTime(dateString, now); //to implement

或者，你也可以使用像localstorage-slim.js这样的轻量级包装器来处理这个问题。
