How to Save Bool Data in Shared Preferences with Flutter

When developing mobile applications with Flutter, one common requirement is to manage user data efficiently. This typically involves using shared preferences to save simple data such as strings or numbers. However, if you're trying to save boolean values, like the login status of a user, you might run into some challenges and confusion, just like a developer recently shared with our community.

In this guide, we will explore how to resolve this issue of saving bool data in shared preferences in Flutter. If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you could handle strings well, but the boolean was giving you a headache, this guide is for you!

Understanding the Issue

You might have implemented shared preferences successfully to save string data or other types of data but found difficulty when it comes to dealing with boolean values. For instance, you may want to save whether a user is logged in (true or false) but don’t know how to do that effectively.

To give context, here is a simplified version of the problem statement:

The developer is using a custom class to manage shared preferences.

They have successfully implemented saving string data but cannot save boolean values.

The Solution

To solve the problem of saving boolean values, you need to extend your preferences class by adding a couple of methods specifically for boolean data handling. Here's a breakdown of how to accomplish that.

Step 1: Add Methods for Boolean Data

You can add two methods to your MyPreferences class for updating and retrieving boolean values. Here’s how:

updateLoggedIn(bool value): This method takes a boolean value and saves it to shared preferences using the key 'logged_in'.

isLoggedIn(): This method retrieves the boolean value associated with the key 'logged_in'. If no value is set, it defaults to false.

Step 2: Utilize the Methods

Once the methods are ready, you can easily update the login status when a user logs in or logs out. Here’s how you might use it:

On User Login:

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can easily save and manage boolean values such as user login status using shared preferences in Flutter.

Remember to always ensure that you are handling data types correctly to avoid runtime errors and unexpected behavior in your application. Now you can confidently manage user states within your Flutter applications!
