How to edit a value in localStorage with TypeScript

I am working on a simple "Green Light, Red light" game using Angular, and I am storing players with their score and maxScore using localStorage.

I can already read each property from the array stored in the localStorage, but now I am stuck on modifying those values once I click a button.

This is the test array I am currently working with:

[{"name":"test1","score":3,"maxScore":8},{"name":"test2","score":10,"maxScore":22}]

This array is stored with a single key named "players", so it is an array of players.

My component looks like this:

game.component.ts

export class GameComponentComponent implements OnInit {
  highScoreLS: number = this.getHighScoreData();
  scoreLS: number = this.getScoreData();

  highScore: number = 0;
  score: number = 0;
  state: string = 'RUN';

  faArrowRightFromBracket = faArrowRightFromBracket;
  faShoePrints = faShoePrints;

  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit(): void {}

  addPoint() {
    this.score++;
    if (this.score > this.highScore) {
      this.highScore = this.score;
    }
    this.changeHighScore();
    this.changeScore();
  }

  removePoint() {
    this.score--;
    if (this.score < 0) {
      this.score = 0;
    }
    this.changeHighScore();
    this.changeScore();
  }

  changeState() {
    if (this.state === 'RUN') {
      this.state = 'PAUSE';
    } else {
      this.state = 'RUN';
    }
  }

  getScoreData() {
    let localStorageItem = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('players') || '[]');
    let item = localStorageItem.find(
      (item: { name: string }) => item.name === 'test1'
    );
    let sc = item.score;
    return sc;
  }

  getHighScoreData() {
    let localStorageItem = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('players') || '[]');
    let item = localStorageItem.find(
      (item: { name: string }) => item.name === 'test1'
    );
    let hs = item.maxScore;
    return hs;
  }

  changeHighScore() {
    let localStorageItem = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('players') || '[]');
    let item = localStorageItem.find(
      (item: { name: string }) => item.name === 'test1'
    );
    item.maxScore = this.highScore;
    localStorage.setItem('players', JSON.stringify(item));
  }

  changeScore() {
    let localStorageItem = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('players') || '[]');
    let item = localStorageItem.find(
      (item: { name: string }) => item.name === 'test1'
    );
    item.score = this.score;
    localStorage.setItem('players', JSON.stringify(item));
  }
}

And the html looks like this:

game.component.html

<div class="navbar navbar-dark bg-dark">
  <div class="container">
    <h2>Hi! 👋</h2>
    <a class="navbar-brand" routerLink=""
      ><fa-icon [icon]="faArrowRightFromBracket"></fa-icon
    ></a>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="container flex vh-100">
  <div class="row m-3">
    <h3>HIGH SCORE: {{ highScoreLS }}</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="row m-3">
    <div class="card p-3">
      <h3>{{ state }}</h3>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="row m-3">
    <h3>SCORE: {{ scoreLS }}</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="row m-3">
    <div class="col">
      <button class="btn btn-outline-success" (click)="addPoint()">
        <fa-icon [icon]="faShoePrints"></fa-icon>
        Left
      </button>
      <button class="btn btn-outline-success" (click)="removePoint()">
        Right
        <fa-icon [icon]="faShoePrints"></fa-icon>
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

The problem is, when I click the button to add or remove a point, it deletes the whole array of players, and creates a new one like the following:

{"name":"test1","score":0,"maxScore":1}

I have been working for a couple of days with localStorage so I do not know exactly what I am missing or what I am doing wrong.
My idea is to edit those values, score and maxScore, but I can’t figure it out how.

EDIT
The first time I click on add a point, it edits only the maxScore, but once. The next time I click, it gives me this error:

ERROR TypeError: localStorageItem.find is not a function
    at GameComponentComponent.changeScore (game-component.component.ts:83:33)
    at GameComponentComponent.addPoint (game-component.component.ts:34:10)

>Solution :

You’re calling localStorage.setItem with just the single item and not the whole array so every subsequent "finds" you’re trying will fail.

Try this instead:

localStorage.setItem('players', JSON.stringify(localStorageItem));

Though I have to say, there’s loads of duplicate code in just that one component. You should read some articles on data structures and state management.
