ModHelper.Storage

Helps with storing data that persists through different runs using JSON.

Load<T>

Loads an object (of type <T>) from the given file path. Loads the default of T if the file doesn't exist.

Load Parameters

(italicized = optional)

• string filename: The file path, relative to your mod's directory, of the JSON file to load the object from.
• bool fixBackslashes: Replaces backslashes with forward-slashes, this can mess up escape characters; defaults to true
• JsonSerializerSettings settings: Use custom JsonSerializerSettings.

Save<T>

Saves an object (of type <T>) to the given file path. Creates a new file if one doesn't exist.

Save Parameters

• T obj: The object to save.
• string filename: The file path, relative to your mod's directory, of the file to save the object to.

Example

public class MyCoolMod : ModBehaviour {

    public class MyModData {
        public DateTime lastRunDate = DateTime.now();
    }

    public void Start() {
        MyModData myData = ModHelper.Storage.Load<MyModData>("save.json") ?? new();
        ModHelper.Console.WriteLine($"You last used my mod on {myData.lastRunDate.ToShortDateString()}");
        myData.lastRunDate = DateTime.now();
        ModHelper.Storage.Save<MyModData>(myData, "save.json");
    }
