Support for objects?

[scarlac]

Feature request:
I see references to things like convertObjCObjectToJSIValue and the reverse but mmkv.mm doesn't seem to be exposing this functionality.

Would it be possible to get native object/dict support so one could avoid using JSON.stringify() (and rely on the native counter-part)? Or have you found that it's more trouble than it's worth?

Hmm, on iOS there is support for storing id (basically any), I'll have to see how that will work.

What do you think the return type should be?

I'm thinking unknown:

getObject: (key: string) => unknown

I'll see what's possible in #7

A way to do it is already explain on documentation :

const user = {
  username: 'Marc',
  age: 21
}

storage.set('user', JSON.stringify(user))

const jsonUser = storage.getString('user') // { 'username': 'Marc', 'age': 21 }
const userObject = JSON.parse(jsonUser)

May this Issues should be closed ?

[mrousavy]

Yeah I think closing this issue makes sense. JSON is fast and easy, otherwise I would have to create a custom implementation and binary serializer (protobuf/flatbuf/flexbuf?) and that's maintainable native code.
