607 PointsHow to update the updated data?
Hello, I have a question about storing the updated data.
Let's say I add a player 'John', increase his score to 10 then refresh the web-browser, then the John's information gonna be there? will it be stored in the 'player.js' file?
the video doesn't show that new updated information is actually updated so it can be displayed after refresh the browser.
Is there any other video that helps this question?

You could store this data is a database and retrieve/update it, or you can make use of the browsers local storage which will hold bits of data for you which you can then retrieve at the start up of your application and plug it into you app state.
each of these solutions require some more configuration/code in your app.js file. You'll essentially want to grab your state, store it in one of the ways mentioned and then access that data on startup and plug it back into your state.

Courses Plus Student 17,662 Pointsthere are treehouse courses which go over local storage and working with databases. The database will be the more difficult solution as it requires more setup.
