# Simple Electron App Settings Management
Written as a replacement for the rather nice but somewhat insufficient (for my needs) [electron-settings](https://github.com/nathanbuchar/electron-settings), I hereby present [electron-app-settings](https://github.com/kettek/electron-app-settings), a **multi-process safe app settings library** for [Electron](https://electronjs.org/).

This module is being used in the soon-to-be released Open Markup Editor (development visibile @ its [GitHub page](https://github.com/kettek/open-markup-editor)) and has proven itself to be far nicer to use than other non-IPC based settings libraries that were tried.

Usability is a cinch:

```
// In your main process
const settings = require('electron-app-settings');
settings.set('my_var', 'my_value');
settings.set({my_obj: 10});

settings.get('my_var');
// => 'my_value'
settings.get();
// => {'my_var': 'my_value', 'my_obj': 10}

// In your renderer process
const settings = require('electron-app-settings');
settings.get('my_obj');
// => 10
settings.set('my_obj', 20);
```

Setting default settings:

```
// In your main process
const settings = require('electron-app-settings');

// Merge these settings under any existing settings
settings.set({
	window: {
		width: 800,
		height: 600,
		left: -1,
		top: -1
	},
	update_delay: 250
}, true);
```

All settings are saved on application quit.
