This Unity library is designed to replace the standard Unity PlayerPrefs.

The main difference is that it saves all records in JSON format to a file in Application.persistentDataPath. For this, the JSON.Net resource, available for free at the asset store, was used.

This makes it much easier to store your save games data in places like the Steam Cloud services, iCloud, Google Play or your own backend etc ..

The Library also adds some functionality such as extra record types and more refined / flexible data access.

Tested on Windows and Android.

Grab the latest unity package from the releases tab of this repo and import it into your project.

Just go to APlayerPrefs > Settings menu. It is possible to configure the name of the saved file, if it will have automatic saving and the interval time of each save.

Use APlayerPrefs.Setup(); in any MonoBehaviour to initialize and configure APlayerPrefs.

APlayerPrefs.SetString(string key, string value);
APlayerPrefs.SetInt(string key, int value);
APlayerPrefs.SetFloat(string key, float value);
APlayerPrefs.SetDouble(string key, double value);
APlayerPrefs.SetLong(string key, long value);
APlayerPrefs.SetBool(string key, string value);
APlayerPrefs.SaveObject<T>(string key, T value);

APlayerPrefs.GetString(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetInt(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetFloat(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetDuble(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetLong(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetBool(string key);
APlayerPrefs.GetObject<T>(string key);

APlayerPrefs.Save();
APlayerPrefs.HasKey(string key);
APlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();
APlayerPrefs.Deletekey();

At the top of FileBasedPrefs.cs is a bool named AUTO_SAVE;

If set to true (the default setting), it will save the data for the time interval defined in DELAY_SAVE.

If set to false, then it will only save the data to file when you call APlayerPrefs.Save();

This means that the save data is stored in memory until you specifically tell it to write the file. This is much faster and causes no performance issues.

You can open the directory where the file was saved and you can clear all data from the file.
