Discrepancy in Supported Types

[ian-donnelly-dev]

There appears to be a discrepancy between the types listed as supported in the GetStorage documentation and what is actually supported. This inconsistency makes it challenging for developers to understand the full capabilities of GetStorage and how to best utilize it in their projects.

I am referring to:

• https://pub.dev/packages/get_storage
• https://pub.dev/packages/get_storage/example
• my own experiments with the package

The README states that GetStorage supports the following types: String, int, double, Map, List (bool is not listed here).

Yet, one of the examples includes:

dartCopybool get isDark => box.read('darkmode') ?? false;
void changeTheme(bool val) => box.write('darkmode', val);

Is this being automatically casted to an int or something?

What is the full list of types that GetStorage actually supports?
Is boolean support an intentional feature that was omitted from the documentation?
Are there any other types (e.g. enums) that are supported but not mentioned in the docs?
What is the recommended approach for storing custom types or complex objects?
