Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'

Issue

I was trying to set UNIX time in local storage by:

let dt: number = Date.now();
localStorage.setItem('logged', dt+864000000);

Returning with error: Argument of type ‘number’ is not assignable to parameter of type
‘string’

It’s giving the same error when i use getItem to read the logged data.

Any solution?

Solution

Just try this

let dt: number = Date.now();
localStorage.setItem('logged', ""+dt+864000000);

Hope this works for you
