Abstract away settings logic using composition #856

Closed Barsonax closed 3 years ago

Barsonax commented 4 years ago

Settings are now just POCO classes that are wrapped by the generic SettingsContainer class which contains the serialization logic and a changed event. It also implements a ISettingsContainer interface This cleans this logic up and allows us to treat settings in a more generic way (such as here https://github.com/AdamsLair/duality/pull/856/files#diff-3a2fbc8f3e471d6698b637e54ca23cffR998).

Also updated the naming of settings files according to #855.

Further possible improvements:

Is this ready for review, or still WiP?

Barsonax commented 4 years ago

Still WIP as I have to change the extension to .xml and do my own review

Barsonax commented 3 years ago

Added some minor change requests for the current implementation.

I'm a little bothered by the sudden influx of all the .Value indirections here, but due to the lack of serializer support for re-using the same instance, there's probably no way around that container design for now, as discussed in #855.

Agree it clutters the code a bit but thats also because its used through DualityApp which leads to a quite long name (and being static state also causes alot of implicit lifetime dependencies). Ideally you just want to give the code that needs it a reference to the settingscontainer and no longer depend on any static class anymore. Will be hard to do this throughout the code base without something like dependency injection though.

I disagree on that one, I think there's a balance to be struck here. But that's a topic for another time 😁
