Koap

A Kotlin library that makes Android SharedPreferences easier to use.
You can use it as if you are using a typical data class.

Usage

Note that this library doesn't allow nullable property except ReadWriteSerializable delegator

• Basics
  Create a SharedPreferences instance and then pass it on to the parameter of the bind function

object AccountPreference : PreferenceHolder(name = "account") {
    var id: String by ReadWriteString()
    var name: String by ReadWriteString(default = "leopold")
    var age: Int by ReadWriteInt(caching = false)
    var token: String by ReadWriteString(key = "pref_token")
}

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        Koap.bind(this, AccountPreference)
    }
}

if (AccountPreference.id.isEmpty()) {

}


if (AccountPreference.age > 30) {

}

• Using predicate

object AccountPreference : PreferenceHolder(name = "account", cacheStrategy = CacheStrategy.LAZY) {
    var id: String by ReadWriteString(predicate = { it.isNotEmpty() })
    var name: String by ReadWriteString(caching = false, predicate = { it.length > 2 && it.startsWith("leo")} )
    var age: Int by ReadWriteInt(predicate = { it > 0 })
    var token: String by ReadWriteString(predicate = { it.length > 10 })
    var imageUrl: String by ReadWriteString(predicate = { it.startsWith("http")} )
    var account: Account? by ReadWriteSerializable(type = inferType<Account>(), predicate = { it?.age ?: 0 > 30 })
}

data class Account(
    val id: String,
    val nick: String,
    val age: Int
)

• Cache Strategy

object AccountPreference : PreferenceHolder(name = "account", cacheStrategy = CacheStrategy.EAGER) {
    var id: String by ReadWriteString()
}

// Default cacheStrategy is CacheStrategy.LAZY

• File creation mode

object AccountPreference : PreferenceHolder(name = "account", mode = Context.MODE_PRIVATE) {
    var id: String by ReadWriteString()
}

// Default mode is Context.MODE_PRIVATE

• Default SharedPreferences

object AccountPreference : PreferenceHolder(name = "", default = true) {
    var id: String by ReadWriteString()
}

Testing

Just turn on the test mode.

Koap.isTestMode = true

When it is turned on, then all properties are acting just like normal properties.

Importing the Library

Add jitpack.io to your project's repositories:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file to use the latest version:

implementation 'com.github.AgustaRC.koap:koap:1.0.1'

Gson serialization

To use Gson serializer, we need to add following dependency:

implementation "com.github.AgustaRC.koap:koap-gson-serializer:1.0.1"

And specify GsonSerializer as Koap serializer:

Koap.serializer = GsonSerializer(Gson())

Since then, we can use all types, even one not supported by SharedPreference
