Javascript Array not showing up as an array

Question

I have an array like so:

var data = {"result":"success","ids":["00000","54321","123","22222","11111","55555","33333","abc123","123abc","12345","44444"]}
localStorage.ids = data.ids;

But now when I do:

angular.forEach(localStorage.ids, function(id, key) {
    console.log(id);
});

I get like:

And so on.

When I console.log(JSON.stringify(localStorage.ids)); I get:

"00000,54321,123,22222,11111,55555,33333,abc123,123abc,12345,44444"

Does anyone know why this would happen?

It looks to me like either some code you've omitted is stingifying localStorage.ids before the forEach loop, or angular's forEach doesn't work as expected. — user3310334

localStorage stores only strings.

localStorage.setItem('ids', JSON.stringify(data.ids)); // to save

var ids = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('ids')); // to get
