The StorageEvent is an event that fires when a storage area has been changed in the context of another document. Whereas onstorage property is an EventHandler for processing storage events.

The syntax would be as below

javascript
1window.onstorage = functionRef;

Let's take the example usage of onstorage event handler which logs the storage key and it's values

javascript
1window.onstorage = function (e) {
2
3console.log(
4  "The " +
5  e.key +
6  " key has been changed from " +
7  e.oldValue +
8  " to " +
9  e.newValue +
10  "."
11);
12};
