in_app_settings 1.0.3

A Flutter/Dart singleton manager for in-app settings with automatic type detection, supporting primitives, collections, maps, JSON, and optional custom storage delegates.

Settings

A Flutter/Dart singleton manager for in-app settings with automatic type detection, supporting primitives, collections, maps, JSON, and optional custom storage delegates.

Features

• Singleton manager for app-wide settings.
• Supports primitive types: int, double, String, bool, null.
• Supports collections: List<int>, List<double>, List<String>, List<bool>.
• Supports maps and JSON with nested structures.
• Automatic DataType detection for stored values.
• Optional custom storage delegate for local or remote persistence.
• Operations:
  • get — retrieve a value with type safety.
  • set — store a value.
  • increment — increment numeric values.
  • arrayUnion — add elements to a list without duplicates.
  • arrayRemove — remove elements from a list.
• Handles empty lists and maps gracefully.
• Built-in logging support for debugging.
• Deep string parsing for numeric and boolean detection.

Installation:

Add this to your pubspec.yaml: dependencies:

in_app_settings: ^1.0.0

or,

flutter pub add in_app_settings

Then run:

flutter pub get

Examples:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:in_app_settings/settings.dart';

/// Example delegate storing settings in memory.
class MySettingsDelegate implements SettingsDelegate {
  final Map<String, dynamic> _store = {};

  @override

    _store[request.path] = request.value;
    return true;
  }

  @override
  Object? cache(SettingsReadRequest request) {
    return _store[request.path];
  }

  @override
  Future<void> clean() async => _store.clear();

  @override
  Future<SettingsBackupResponse> get() async {
    // GET FROM REMOTE
    return SettingsBackupResponse.ok(_store);
  }

  @override

    _store[request.path] = request.value;
  }
}
