How to save a color in NSUserDefaults in swift?

Question

I have a litle problem with saving a color in NSUserDefaults . In objective-c is easy :

-(NSColor *)colorForKey:(NSString *)key{
NSData  *data;
NSColor *color;
         


        

Answer 1

For Objective C

place like this.

NSData *colorData = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:color];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:colorData forKey:@"myColor"];

To get back like this.

NSData *colorData = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"myColor"];
UIColor *color = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:colorData];

For Swift

set like this

 var userSelectedColor : NSData? = (NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("UserSelectedColor") as? NSData)

if (userSelectedColor != nil) {
    var colorToSetAsDefault : UIColor = UIColor.redColor()
    var data : NSData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(colorToSetAsDefault)
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(data, forKey: "UserSelectedColor")
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()
    println("SET DEFAULT USER COLOR TO RED")
}

get like this.

if let userSelectedColorData = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("UserSelectedColor") as? NSData {
    if let userSelectedColor = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData(userSelectedColorData) as? UIColor {
        println(userSelectedColor)
    }
}

For Swift 4.2

place like this.

let colorToSetAsDefault : UIColor = UIColor.red
let data : Data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: colorToSetAsDefault) as Data
UserDefaults.standard.set(data, forKey: "UserSelectedColor")
UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
print("SET DEFAULT USER COLOR TO RED")

To get back like this.

if let userSelectedColorData = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "UserSelectedColor") as? Data {
    if let userSelectedColor = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with:userSelectedColorData as Data) as? UIColor {
        print(userSelectedColor)
    }
}

Storing an NSColor instance in user defaults

store the value in aColor in user defaults as the value for key aKey

NSData *theData=[NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:aColor]; [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:theData forKey:aKey];
