SideBarBlurChange.jsx

import React, {useEffect, useState} from "react";
import {getTrackBackground, Range} from "react-range";

const STEP = 0.1;
const MIN = 0;
const MAX = 100;

export default function SideBarBlurChange(props) {

    const [values, SetValues] = useState([20])

    const SaveChanges = () => {
        alert(values)
    }

        return (

Answer

I think your main problem was that localStorage doesn’t store anything besides strings. You’re going to want to parseInt then check to make sure localStorage isn’t null. Can you try this and see if it works?

  const ls = parseInt(window.localStorage.getItem('values'));
  const [values, SetValues] = useState(ls ? [ls] : [20]);

  const SaveChanges = () => {
      alert(values);
      localStorage.setItem('values', values);
  }
