Enhances AndroidX DataStore with type safety, eliminating string keys by representing preferences as objects. Supports SharedPreferences encryption and simplifies preference declaration and usage.
settings-multiplatform provides a type-safe, multiplatform abstraction over AndroidX DataStore, letting you define preferences as objects (rather than string keys), and enabling encryption.
[!NOTE] Settings Multiplatform now support Encryption in version 2.3.0+
Working with DataStore typically means you operate with string keys and primitive types, which is error-prone and lacks compile-time safety. When you migrate logic to a multiplatform structure (Android + iOS / Kotlin Multiplatform), managing platform-specific preferences becomes cumbersome.
settings-multiplatform solves these issues by:
stringPreference, intPreference) instead of raw string keysPreferences.preferenceString instead of "preference_string"Add the library to your module build.gradle
