How to Save Data with UserDefaults

Persist small settings with UserDefaults.

Steps

  1. Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
  2. Run it once to verify the output.
  3. Adjust the inputs to match your use case.

Copy and paste

import Foundation

let defaults = UserDefaults.standard

defaults.set(true, forKey: "hasSeenIntro")
let seen = defaults.bool(forKey: "hasSeenIntro")
print(seen)

Notes

  • Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
  • Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
