Feature Highlights

  • Compatible with iOS and macOS
  • Native support for UserDefaults based storage
  • Native support for iOS KeyChain based storage
  • Property persistence achieved through the @Persisted property wrapper
  • Properties wrapped with @Persisted must conform to the Codable protocol
  • Possibility to specify your custom storage facility

Basic usage

Creating a persisted property it's just a matter of adding the @Persisted property wrapper on top of your variable, specifying the key used to reflect the property value on the storage and assigning a default value to the property itself. If the property is Optional and no default value is provided, nil must be specified:

@Persisted(key: "myProperty")
var myProperty: Double = 10.0
@Persisted(key: "myOptionalProperty")
var myOptionalProperty: String? = nil // default value cannot be omitted

Advanced usage

It's possible to customize on which storage service properties are going to be persisted. PersistedProperty provide native support for UserDefaults backed storage and KeyChain based storage. You can configure which storage to use when adding the @Persisted property wrapper on top of your property:

// This will be persisted in the standard UserDefaults (same as omitting the storage parameter).
@Persisted(key: "myProperty", storage: .standard)
var myProperty: Double = 10.0
// This will be persisted in the iOS KeyChain.
@Persisted(key: "myPassword", storage: .keychain)
var myPassword: String? = nil

Additionally, you can specify your custom storage service by creating your storage provider that conforms to the StorageService protocol:

/// A custom storage provider conforming to the StorageService protocol
class MyCustomStorageService: StorageService {
    
    func load<ValueType>(key: String) -> ValueType? where ValueType: Codable ...
    
    func save<ValueType>(_ value: ValueType, key: String) where ValueType: Codable ...
    
    func remove(key: String) ...
    
}

let myService: StorageService = MyCustomStorageService()

// This will be persisted in the custom storage service.
@Persisted(key: "myProperty", storage: .custom(service: myService))
var myProperty: Double = 10.0
