Supported types for 1.0

[nickoneill]

• Default types (String, Int, Float, Double)
• Arrays of Default types
• Storable structs with default type properties
• Storable structs with arrays of default types
• Arrays of Storable structs
• Storable structs with storable struct properties (Implement nested structs #1)
• Storable structs with arrays of storable structs (Implement nested structs #1)
• Arrays of arrays

Is there any plan to support arrays of arrays in the future (post 1.0)? This might be helpful even for small amounts of data? Or does the unticked box mean that it's not done yet, but planned. Hmmm...

Hey @loslislo-lshift, I'd be curious to see your use case for this. The best way to put this on the list is to submit a PR with a test case that fails and we'll see how difficult it is to fix.

I'm not completely sure if/why this doesn't work at the moment, though if I put it on a list at some point in time I'm guessing it was a slightly different case than the other types we support.

Thanks for the quick response! I really like the simplicity of Pantry, let's see if I can have a look when I got some time. My use case is that I am fetching JSON data and creating objects from them, let's say and array of three objects I want to persist. The objects are straight forward but can contain a property with string arrays.

Example for an object:

{
    theName = GreekLetters;
    theType = Letters;
    someExamples = 
        props =         (
            "alpha",
            "beta",
            "gamma"
        );
}
