On/off button for all music in app

I am building a children's app which have several different audio tracks depending on which page you are on, they auto play. I inserted them as html5 audio.

I created a mute button which can stop the audio. However, the problem i have is that when you navigate to a different page the music will start playing again.

What i need is some kind of mute button that will stop all audio in the app and for it to 'remember' the setting. Maybe a cookie or something i dont know the best solution, can anyone help and suggest?

You can set a local storage variable and check the status on page load or show.

var playMusic = localStorage.getItem('canPlay');
if (playMusic == "true") {
// do something
}

Your code was missleading...

I had to use

var playMusic = localStorage.getItem('playMusic');
if (playMusic == "true") {
// do something
}

what was the canPlay part about?! took me ages to spot that

That is actually quite difficult for beginners like me.

Use this code
var playMusic = localStorage.getItem('playMusic');
if (playMusic == "true") {
// do something
}

Set the default music mode on the device you are using.

I would recommend just turning audio off on the music player audio source
