Stores

Stores make it easy to persist class/object properties to a store with one line of code. You can move between store types in that same line of code. We provide stores for iOS, Android, Windows, & WebAssembly.

Nuget Packages

Features

Key/value store with support for
- Android/iOS/Windows - Preferences & Secure Storage
- Web - Local Storage & Session Storage
- In Memory
Object binder binds INotifyPropertyChanged against a key/value store to persist object changes across sessions
Simply implement IKeyValueStore to create your own store

Setup

Install the NuGet package

Add the following using directive:

// during your app startup - use your service collection

builder.Services.AddPersistentService<MyNotifyPropertyChangedObject>("secure"); // optional: default to `settings`

Inject the MyNotifyPropertyChangedObject into your view model or service. Set properties and they will be persisted automatically.

public class MyViewModel
{
    public MyViewModel(MyNotifyPropertyChangedObject myObject)
        => this.MyObject = myObject;

    public MyNotifyPropertyChangedObject MyObject { get; }

    public void SomeMethod()
    {
        MyClass.MyProperty = "Hello World"; // this will be persisted automatically
    }
}

To bypass reflection and make binding super fast - use Shiny Reflector to remove the need for reflection. It is already built into the Shiny.Extensions.Stores package, so you can use it directly. Just mark [Reflector] on your class and make your class partial.
