Saving and retreiving a string value from client storage adds quotation marks

Description

Saving and retreiving a string value from the client storage adds quotation marks around it.

Code example to reproduce the issue:

import flet
from flet import Page, TextField


class MyApp:
    @staticmethod
    def static_run(page: Page) -> None:
        MyApp(page)

    def __init__(self, page: Page):
        self.page: Page = page
        self.text_field = TextField(label="Value Store", value=self.get_text(), on_submit=self.save_text)
        self.page.add(self.text_field)
        self.text_field.focus()

    def get_text(self) -> str:
        key = "text"
        if self.page.client_storage.contains_key(key):
            return self.page.client_storage.get(key)
        else:
            return "Enter some text here."

    def save_text(self, e):
        key = "text"
        self.page.client_storage.set(key, self.text_field.value)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    flet.app(target=MyApp.static_run, assets_dir="assets")
    # flet.app(target=MyApp.static_run, assets_dir="assets", view=flet.WEB_BROWSER, port=8080)

Describe the results you received:

1. Start the application
2. Enter some text and press enter to save it to client storage

3. Stop and reopen the app. There are now quotations around the text

Flet version (pip show flet):

Version: 0.1.63

Operating system:

Arch Linux x86

Additional environment details:
I am using a venv with these requirements installed:

• flet
• py-staticmaps[cairo]

I tried adding a print to see the issue better.

And had this..

This is quite «bizard»/strange.

Can confirm - it's a bug. Thanks for reporting!

Fixed in the next release coming later this week.

For workaround unwrap the value with json.loads(), for example:

v = json.loads(page.client_storage.get("AAA"))

Thanks for reporting!

You're welcome. Many thanks for your quick replies. Should I close this issue then or leave it open until the next release?
