# LocalData LocalData provides a typed, discoverable namespace for persisted app data across UserDefaults, Keychain, and file storage with optional encryption. ## Architecture The package uses a clean, modular architecture with isolated actors for thread safety: ``` StorageRouter (main entry point) ├── UserDefaultsHelper ├── KeychainHelper ├── FileStorageHelper ├── EncryptionHelper └── SyncHelper ``` ## What Ships in the Package ### Protocols - **StorageKey** - Define storage configuration for each data type - **StorageProviding** - Abstraction for storage operations - **KeyMaterialProviding** - Supplies external key material for encryption ### Services (Actors) - **StorageRouter** - Main entry point for all storage operations - **KeychainHelper** - Secure keychain storage - **EncryptionHelper** - AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 with PBKDF2/HKDF - **FileStorageHelper** - File system operations - **UserDefaultsHelper** - UserDefaults with suite support - **SyncHelper** - WatchConnectivity sync ### Models - **StorageDomain** - userDefaults, keychain, fileSystem, encryptedFileSystem - **SecurityPolicy** - none, keychain, encrypted (AES-256 or ChaCha20-Poly1305) - **Serializer** - JSON, plist, Data, or custom - **PlatformAvailability** - all, phoneOnly, watchOnly, phoneWithWatchSync - **SyncPolicy** - never, manual, automaticSmall - **KeychainAccessibility** - All 7 iOS accessibility options - **KeychainAccessControl** - All 6 access control options (biometry, passcode, etc.) - **FileDirectory** - documents, caches, custom URL - **StorageError** - Comprehensive error types - **AnyCodable** - Type-erased Codable for mixed-type payloads ## Usage ### 1. Define Keys Extend `StorageKeys` with your own key types: ```swift import LocalData extension StorageKeys { struct UserTokenKey: StorageKey { typealias Value = String let name = "user_token" let domain: StorageDomain = .keychain(service: "com.myapp") let security: SecurityPolicy = .keychain( accessibility: .afterFirstUnlock, accessControl: .biometryAny ) let serializer: Serializer = .json let owner = "AuthService" let availability: PlatformAvailability = .phoneOnly let syncPolicy: SyncPolicy = .never } } ``` If you omit `security`, it defaults to `SecurityPolicy.recommended`. ### 2. Use StorageRouter ```swift // Save let key = StorageKeys.UserTokenKey() try await StorageRouter.shared.set("token123", for: key) // Retrieve let token = try await StorageRouter.shared.get(key) // Remove try await StorageRouter.shared.remove(key) ``` ## Storage Domains | Domain | Use Case | |--------|----------| | `userDefaults` | Preferences, small settings | | `keychain` | Credentials, tokens, sensitive data | | `fileSystem` | Documents, cached data, large files | | `encryptedFileSystem` | Sensitive files with encryption policies | ## Security Options ### Keychain Accessibility - `whenUnlocked` - Only when device unlocked - `afterFirstUnlock` - After first unlock until restart - `whenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly` - No migration to new device - `afterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly` - No migration - `always` - Always accessible (least secure) - `alwaysThisDeviceOnly` - Always, no migration - `whenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly` - Requires passcode ### Access Control - `userPresence` - Any authentication - `biometryAny` - Face ID or Touch ID - `biometryCurrentSet` - Current enrolled biometric only - `devicePasscode` - Passcode only - `biometryAnyOrDevicePasscode` - Biometric preferred, passcode fallback - `biometryCurrentSetOrDevicePasscode` - Current biometric or passcode ### Encryption - AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 - PBKDF2-SHA256 or HKDF-SHA256 key derivation - Configurable PBKDF2 iteration count - Master key stored securely in keychain - Default security policy: `SecurityPolicy.recommended` (ChaCha20-Poly1305 + HKDF) - External key material providers can be registered via `EncryptionHelper` ```swift struct RemoteKeyProvider: KeyMaterialProviding { func keyMaterial(for keyName: String) async throws -> Data { // Example only: fetch from service or keychain Data(repeating: 1, count: 32) } } let source = KeyMaterialSource(id: "remote.key") await EncryptionHelper.shared.registerKeyMaterialProvider(RemoteKeyProvider(), for: source) let policy: SecurityPolicy.EncryptionPolicy = .external( source: source, keyDerivation: .hkdf() ) ``` ## Sync Behavior StorageRouter can sync data to Apple Watch via WCSession when: - `availability` is `.all` or `.phoneWithWatchSync` - `syncPolicy` is `.manual` or `.automaticSmall` (≤100KB) - WCSession is activated and watch is paired The app owns WCSession activation and handling incoming updates. ## Platforms - iOS 17+ - watchOS 10+ ## Testing - Unit tests use Swift Testing (`Testing` package) ## Storage Audit LocalData can generate a catalog of all configured storage keys, even if no data has been written yet. This is useful for security reviews and compliance. 1) Define a catalog in your app that lists all keys: ```swift struct AppStorageCatalog: StorageKeyCatalog { static var allKeys: [StorageKeyEntry] { [ StorageKeyEntry(StorageKeys.AppVersionKey()), StorageKeyEntry(StorageKeys.UserPreferencesKey()) ] } } ``` 2) Generate a report: ```swift let report = StorageAuditReport.renderText(for: AppStorageCatalog.self) print(report) ``` 3) Register the catalog to enforce usage: ```swift StorageRouter.shared.registerCatalog(AppStorageCatalog.self) ``` For dynamic key names, use a placeholder name and a note to describe how it is generated. ## Sample App See `SecureStorgageSample` for working examples of all storage domains and security options.
