Will it support encryption?

Hi, this is a great open library
but, will it support encryption?
That must be better

I have no plan to support encryption.
But I used with other encryption library (https://github.com/gfx/Android-EncryptUtils) in production code.

Example

object EncryptedData : KotprefModel() {

    private val encryption = Encryption(Encryption.getDefaultCipher(), byteArrayOf(...))
    
    private var encryptedFoo by stringPref("")

    fun getFoo(): String =
            if (encryptedFoo.isEmpty()) {
                ""
            } else {
                encryption.decrypt(encryptedFoo)
            }

    fun setFoo(foo: String) {
        if (foo.isNotEmpty()) {
            encryptedFoo = encryption.encrypt(foo)
        }
    }
}

I think that you can use any other library you want.

Thanks, I will look at it

[fly7632785]

But, if I use this library to encrypt. How can I encrypt the Object, is there any interface to operate the gson string? Please and thank you

[fly7632785]

And @chibatching
May I fork your library and add a encryption support?
Hope to communicate with you in the spect of tech

Of course it's ok, but I will try to create interface to inject custom converter (e.g. #42) to Kotpref at next major version.
This may possibly cause stop developing and remove some optional support artifact (like gson, enum support) from this repo.

Well, good
I've forked it
Kotpref
and make a support library of Encryption
KotprefEncryptSupport
Hope to get your suggestion about it.
And thank you,Your Kotpref is a good lib.
Custom converter is a good idea,
I will stay focused on it
