Hey!

I was wondering if StateKeeper `consume`/`register` methods could use the same technique (or have an overload) that Json.encodeToString does, so we don't have to pass the serializer manually, with something like essentyJson.serializersModule.serializer()?

I think I can use Json instead of essentyJson and do an extension on my end, as the lib doesn't and is not expected to modify the serializersModule in the future, but it would be nicer to be shipped with the lib.

This was an explicit design decision to avoid having global configuration objects. There is a thread with some discussions and info: https://github.com/arkivanov/Decompose/issues/470#issuecomment-1748798479

Btw, you can create the following functions in your project. Just keep in mind that it will crash at runtime if you forget to annotate your types with @Serializable.

import com.arkivanov.essenty.statekeeper.StateKeeper
import kotlinx.serialization.serializer

inline fun <reified T : Any> StateKeeper.consume(key: String): T? =
    consume(key = key, strategy = serializer<T>())

inline fun <reified T : Any> StateKeeper.register(key: String, noinline supplier: () -> T?) {
    register(key = key, strategy = serializer<T>(), supplier = supplier)
}
