When I assign integer value to localStorage item
localStorage.setItem('a',1)
and check its type
typeof(localStorage.a) "string"
it returns string, I can typecast it to int for my use
parseInt(localStorage.a)
My question is it possible to store integer value inside localStorage as I can do for Javascript objects without typecasting?
a={};
a.number=1;
typeof(a.number)
"number"

No.
Storage objects are simple key-value stores, similar to objects, but they stay intact through page loads. The keys can be strings or integers, but the values are always strings. [source]
