### Class

# WPEPlatform Settings

#### Description [src]

    final class WPEPlatform.Settings : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

This class stores settings for the WPE platform.

It is a map of keys to arbitrary values. These keys are registered with `wpe_settings_register()`.

They can be stored and loaded with `wpe_settings_save_to_keyfile()` and `wpe_settings_load_from_keyfile()`.

The `WPESettings::changed` signal is emitted when a setting is changed. You can connect to the detailed signal to watch a specific key, e.g. `changed::/wpe-platform/fonts/font-hinting`.

#### Instance methods

###### wpe_settings_get_boolean

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_byte

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_double

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_int32

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_int64

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_string

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_uint32

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_uint64

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_get_value()` that also validates the return type.

###### wpe_settings_get_value

If the key is not registered it will return `NULL` and set `error`.

###### wpe_settings_load_from_keyfile

Loads settings from a keyfile.

###### wpe_settings_register

Registers a key to be used for settings. This is only intended to be used by platforms and not applications.

###### wpe_settings_save_to_keyfile

Adds settings to a keyfile. Keys are transformed into group names, for example: `/wpe-platform/fonts/hinting` will be saved as `hinting` in the group `wpe-platform/fonts`.

###### wpe_settings_set_boolean

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_byte

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_double

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_int32

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_int64

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_string

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_uint32

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_uint64

This is a simple wrapper around `wpe_settings_set_value()` that also validates the type.

###### wpe_settings_set_value

If `source` is `WPE_SETTINGS_SOURCE_APPLICATION`, then the value will not be overwritten by the platform. This value should always be `WPE_SETTINGS_SOURCE_PLATFORM` for platforms themselves. This can cause this method to return `TRUE` even though no setting changes.
