Serializable Persistent State Component loadState marked as internal in 261 EAP

IntelliJ Platform

Ya, I am aware of those short comings, I mentioned some of them here but never got a response: Serializable PersistentStateComponent docs look to be wrong

We have been using the class for about a year now which is why I have my data classes defined in the form of:

    data class State(
        @field:Property val a: Boolean = true,
        @field:Property val b: String? = null,
        @field:Property val c: String? = null
    )

Why do you need to track the disk loading specifically?

I don’t per se, but loadState is the only way to load the saved settings into a StateFlow, our code looks nearly verbatim to GitLabPersistentAccounts.kt, but with more fields

    var a: String?
        get() = state.a
        set(value) {
            updateStateAndEmit {
                it.copy(a = value)
            }
        }

    private fun updateStateAndEmit(updateFunction: (currentState: State) -> State) {
        updateState(updateFunction)
        stateFlow.value = state
    }

    override fun loadState(state: State) {
        super.loadState(state)
        stateFlow.value = state
    }
