Persistence easy to delete, or just Ped, is a small library to easily handle persistence in Unity editor and abstract persistence flow in Unity projects.
Ped allows us to use Unity's PlayerPrefs to persistbool, byte, sbyte, char, decimal, double,float, int, uint, long, ulong, short, ushort, string and object, also abstracts the logic to persist object as files.
At runtime, all data saved by Ped is compressed to save space and to protect the data, a similar process is applied to all used keys.
When in the editor, Ped uses a ScriptableObject to store the data, this approach allows us to see and modify the data during development. Ped also provides us with features in the editor to easily manipulate and validate the data used in the test, these features can be accessed through the editor's menu.
Please note this is still in development! Check Issues for any current support issues or bugs that may exist!
It's simple, do you want to save a int PlayerPrefs? Just do it:
Ped.SetPlayerPrefs(key, intValue);Now maybe you want to save some booleans! The following code can help you:
Ped.SetPlayerPrefs(key, booleanValue);Time for save an entire object:
Ped.SetPlayerPrefs(key, someNonEngineObject);Ok, ok, you got the idea, but save an entire object in PlayerPrefs isn't a good idea, maybe you would rather to save a object in a file. In that case just ask to the Ped:
Ped.SetFile(key, someNonEngineObject);Additionally, any value saved in editor mode will be stored in a PedData ScriptableObject, so you can change its values, type and key by inspector or just delete or duplicate it.
For default Ped create a folder named Ped to create a PedData if it doesn't exist, and put a ScriptableObject named PedSettings in the Settings folder to point out which PedData is being used at that moment .
Ped can be installed directly through the git url

Please submit any queries, bugs or issues, to the Issues page on this repository. All feedback is appreciated as it not just helps myself find problems I didn't otherwise see, but also helps improve the project.
By default Ped uses JsonUtility so it has all the limitations of that library. If you want to change the serializer class, check the Custom Serializer field in the PedSettings file.
My friends and family, and you for having come here!
