Persistent data

The module geary-papermc-datastore (included in geary-papermc) provides functions for encoding and decoding serializable classes (using kotlinx.serialization) for any persistent data container.

This may can be useful for types that aren't supported in geary, but which do have a PDC (ex chunks), or for users that just want to read/write data, and not use a full ECS.

Syntax

Persisting components must be marked @Serializable and have a serial name in the form of @SerialName("namespace:key"). The SerialName will be used as a key in the PDC.

@Serializable
@SerialName("myplugin:money")
class Money(amount: Int)

val pdc: PersistentDataContainer

pdc.encode(Money(100))
pdc.decode<Money>()
