supported types
although the key-value storage provided by shared_preferences is
easy and convenient to use, it has limitations:

testing support
it’s a good idea to test code that persists data using shared_preferences.
to enable this, the package provides an
in-memory mock implementation of the preference store.
to set up your tests to use the mock implementation,
call the setMockInitialValues static method in
a setUpAll() method in your test files.
pass in a map of key-value pairs to use as the initial values.
<code_start>
SharedPreferences.setMockInitialValues(<String, object>{
'counter': 2,
});
