Therefore, you can fully take advantage of Promises when you use the API's methods. Getting, adding, updating and removing items are fairly similar to how we did it in local and session storage. And now with the possibility of doing call backs with Promises, let me show you a few examples. If you scroll down to installation, you'll see that after a brief installation, it's fairly easy to get set up. And then you have examples for getting items. So, for example, if you do localforage then getitems and then somekey, then you can basically get the information and then use Promises to, for example, catch if there's an error or even do something else with what the results bring back.
