Is it possible to store a resulting php variable into localStorage?

I have seen a lot of people asking about the reverse, but what i need to do is store a string resulting from php script into localStorage?

Currently, my approach is to store the data in an attribute inside of an html element on my page like this:

<div id="php-data" data-php-value="<?= $var ?>"></div>

and then retrieve the value with JS and store it like this:

let phpVarStorage = document.getElementById("php-data");
let phpValue = phpVarStorage.getAttribute("data-php-value");

localStorage.setItem('php_var', phpValue);

I am just not thrilled with this approach, but I assume there are no PHP methods for storing data client side.

Can anyone offer another approach?

Yes you can save it directly like this

localStorage.setItem('php_var', "<?=$var;?>");

You can store directly like this, as long as you got PHP has this data with you in the same page

<script>
   localStorage.setItem('php_var', "<?php echo $var;?>");
</script>
