Before you start: Consider using Isar a Flutter database by the author of Hive that is superior in every way!
Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
hive: ^[version]
hive_flutter: ^[version]
dev_dependencies:
hive_generator: ^[version]
build_runner: ^[version]Initializes Hive with a valid directory in your app files. You can also provide a subdirectory:
await Hive.initFlutter();?> Use Hive.init() for non-Flutter apps.
All of your data is stored in boxes.
var box = await Hive.openBox('testBox');?> You may call box('testBox') to get the singleton instance of an already opened box.
Hive supports all primitive types, List, Map, DateTime, BigInt and Uint8List. Any object can be stored using TypeAdapters.
import 'package:hive/hive.dart';
void main() async {
//Hive.init('somePath') -> not needed in browser
var box = await Hive.openBox('testBox');
box.put('name', 'David');
print('Name: ${box.get('name')}');
}
