Description

Is there basic example how to save and load custom parameters to EEPROM along with the Wifi credentials? I got it working that the custom fields show up in the UI but as I read in the documentation saving and loading to EEPROM is not done by the library.

Research direction
The user is requesting an example that demonstrates saving and loading custom parameters to EEPROM alongside WiFi credentials using the WiFiManager library. The repository currently lacks such an example. To address this, one could create a new example file (e.g., 'SaveCustomParamsToEEPROM.ino') that extends the existing custom parameter examples to include EEPROM read/write functions. The example should show how to define custom parameters, save them to EEPROM when 'save' is triggered, and load them on startup. Related files in the repository include 'WiFiManager.h' and the 'examples' directory.
