containsKey(String key) bool
Returns true if the persistent storage contains the given key.
get(String key) Object?
Reads a value of any type from persistent storage.
getBool(String key) bool?
Reads a value from persistent storage, throwing an exception if it's not a bool.
getDouble(String key) double?
Reads a value from persistent storage, throwing an exception if it's not a double.
getInt(String key) int?
Reads a value from persistent storage, throwing an exception if it's not an int.
getKeys() Set<String>
Returns all keys in the persistent storage.
getString(String key) String?
Reads a value from persistent storage, throwing an exception if it's not a String.
getStringList(String key) List<String>?

setBool(String key, bool value) Future<bool>
Saves a boolean value to persistent storage in the background.
setDouble(String key, double value) Future<bool>
Saves a double value to persistent storage in the background.
setInt(String key, int value) Future<bool>
