EditorPrefsSaver

Important Attention Reminder

Coding Style wiki

---

EditorPrefsSaver is the built-in editor saver of the SaverSystem (inherits Saver). It uses UnityEditor.EditorPrefs as the storage backend and is suited for storing editor tool preferences (EditorWindow, custom Inspectors, etc.); the base class text-content data feature (Data Map) is available directly.

Namespace	OxGKit.SaverSystem.Editor
Type	public class EditorPrefsSaver : Saver
Source	EditorPrefsSaver.cs

using OxGKit.SaverSystem;
using OxGKit.SaverSystem.Editor;

Important EditorPrefsSaver lives in the Editor Assembly (OxGKit.SaverSystem.Editor) and can only be referenced from editor scripts (Editor folders or Editor asmdefs) — never from runtime scripts (builds would fail to compile).

Quick Start

using OxGKit.SaverSystem;
using OxGKit.SaverSystem.Editor;

// Create a saver in an editor tool (EditorPrefs backend)
Saver editorSaver = new EditorPrefsSaver();

// Store editor tool preferences
editorSaver.SaveString("MyProject.MyTool.lastExportPath", "Assets/Exports");
string path = editorSaver.GetString("MyProject.MyTool.lastExportPath", "");

General Rules

Scope

Saver	Storage Backend	Scope
PlayerPrefsSaver	UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs	Runtime (in-game settings, stored per application/platform)
EditorPrefsSaver	UnityEditor.EditorPrefs	Editor only (editor tool preferences)

(See the Module Intro for an overview)

Storage Scope and Write Timing

Attention EditorPrefs is user-level storage, shared by ALL Unity projects on the same machine — prefix keys with a project or tool name (e.g., MyProject.MyTool.someKey) to avoid collisions.

Reminder Unlike PlayerPrefsSaver, EditorPrefs is persisted automatically by the editor — there is no (and no need for a) Save() call.

SaveString

public override void SaveString(string key, string value)

Saves a string via EditorPrefs.SetString.

editorSaver.SaveString("MyProject.MyTool.lastExportPath", "Assets/Exports");

GetString

public override string GetString(string key, string defaultValue = "")

Gets a string via EditorPrefs.GetString; returns defaultValue when the key does not exist.

SaveInt

public override void SaveInt(string key, int value)

Saves an int via EditorPrefs.SetInt.

GetInt

public override int GetInt(string key, int defaultValue = 0)

Gets an int via EditorPrefs.GetInt; returns defaultValue when the key does not exist.

SaveFloat

public override void SaveFloat(string key, float value)

Saves a float via EditorPrefs.SetFloat.

GetFloat

public override float GetFloat(string key, float defaultValue = 0f)

Gets a float via EditorPrefs.GetFloat; returns defaultValue when the key does not exist.

HasKey

public override bool HasKey(string key)

Checks whether the specified key exists via EditorPrefs.HasKey.

DeleteKey

public override void DeleteKey(string key)

Deletes the specified key via EditorPrefs.DeleteKey.

DeleteAll

public override void DeleteAll()

Deletes keys via EditorPrefs.DeleteAll.

Important EditorPrefs.DeleteAll deletes ALL user-level editor preferences of the whole machine (including settings of Unity itself and other tools) — strongly discouraged in normal situations.
