ktsu.AppDataStorage
A .NET library for simple application data management with JSON serialization.
Introduction
ktsu.AppDataStorage is a .NET library designed to simplify the process of managing application data. It facilitates saving and loading configuration or state data to the application's data folder, leveraging JSON serialization. The library handles file operations with safety mechanisms like automatic backups and provides an intuitive API for developers.
Features
- Easy-to-use API: Intuitive methods for saving and loading data.
- Automatic Backup: Backs up original files before overwriting to ensure data safety.
- Custom Serialization Options: Uses
System.Text.Jsonwith support for custom converters. - File System Abstraction: Uses
System.IO.Abstractionsfor easy unit testing and mocking. - Debounced Saves: Prevents frequent file writes to improve performance.
- Support for Multiple Applications: Organizes data by application domain for isolation.
- Static Instance Access: Provides easy access to a singleton-like instance for centralized data management.
Installation
Package Manager Console
Install-Package ktsu.AppDataStorage
.NET CLI
dotnet add package ktsu.AppDataStorage
Package Reference
<PackageReference Include="ktsu.AppDataStorage" Version="x.y.z" />
Usage Examples
Defining Your Application Data Class
Create a class that inherits from AppData<T>, where T is your custom data type.
public class MyAppData : AppData<MyAppData>
{
public string Setting1 { get; set; } = "hello";
public int Setting2 { get; set; } = 12;
}
Loading Data
Load existing data or create a new instance if no data file exists using LoadOrCreate.
var data = MyAppData.LoadOrCreate();
Console.WriteLine(data.Setting1);
Console.WriteLine(data.Setting2);
// Output:
// hello
// 12
Accessing the Static Instance
The AppData<T> class provides a static instance through the Get method, which ensures a single, easily accessible instance is available throughout your application:
var data = MyAppData.Get();
Console.WriteLine(data.Setting1);
The static instance is initialized automatically and matches the instance returned by LoadOrCreate. Changes to the static instance are persistent once saved:
var data = MyAppData.Get();
data.Setting1 = "new value";
data.Save();
var sameData = MyAppData.Get();
Console.WriteLine(sameData.Setting1);
// Output:
// new value
Saving Data
Modify properties and save the data using the Save method.
var data = MyAppData.Get();
data.Setting1 = "goodbye";
data.Setting2 = 42;
data.Save();
var reloadedData = MyAppData.Get();
Console.WriteLine(reloadedData.Setting1);
Console.WriteLine(reloadedData.Setting2);
// Output:
// goodbye
// 42
Advanced Usage
Queued and Debounced Saving
For scenarios with frequent updates, you can queue save operations using QueueSave, which automatically debounces writes to avoid frequent file system operations.
MyAppData.QueueSave(); // Schedules a save
MyAppData.SaveIfRequired(); // Performs the save if the debounce threshold is exceeded
Writing and Reading Arbitrary Text Files
Write and read arbitrary files in the application's data folder using the static AppData class.
Write Text
AppData.WriteText("example.txt".As<FileName>(), "Hello, AppData!");
Read Text
string content = AppData.ReadText("example.txt".As<FileName>());
Console.WriteLine(content);
// Output:
// Hello, AppData!
Customizing Serialization
Serialization behavior can be customized using JsonSerializerOptions. By default, the library uses:
- Indented JSON for readability.
ReferenceHandler.Preservefor circular references.- Converters such as
JsonStringEnumConverterandToStringJsonConverter.
Directory and File Paths
Data is stored in a directory unique to the current application domain:
var appDataPath = AppData.Path;
Console.WriteLine($"App Data Path: {appDataPath}");
