In this tutorial we will build a simple todo app, which features data persistence all with Hive in under 100 lines of code!

Setup

First we create a new Flutter project:

flutter create todo_app

Dependencies

We can then go ahead and add hive and hive_flutter to the pubspec.yaml file in the project folder:

Initialization

Inside the main() function, we initialize Hive and open up the box. We also call runApp() to allow Flutter to build our app.

MyApp Widget

Here’s the MyApp class that we call inside of runApp(). We have some undefined functions and variables but we’ll take care of those later.

NOT ALL HUMANS HAVE RELATIONSHIP, BUT DATABASES DO

Introduction

Today we continue our journey into the world of the Hive database. In this tutorial of the series, we will learn how to work with multiple objects that have relationships with each other.

HiveLists

HiveLists provide a simple way to solve the problem. They allow you to store a “link” to the actual object.

Let’s understand this with the example of a ToDo app, where we create tasks and assign them to a specific user.

Create a TypeAdapter for Task object

First, we create a Task object using HiveObject. …

Hive has no query language and only limited support for sorting, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage. Sorting and filtering is much faster if you do it yourself in Dart.

Introduction

Because key-value stores are very simple, the data can be modeled in a less complicated way than in SQLite. There is no schema, and you can store objects of different types in the same box. But there are a few things you should be aware of.

Key Order

All keys are sorted in lexicographic order by default. You can use this to get a “free” sort. For example, if you want…

Sometimes it is necessary to store data securely on disk. Hive supports AES-256 encryption out of the box.

Introduction

The only thing you need is a 256-bit (32-byte) encryption key. Hive provides a helper function to generate a secure encryption key using the random number generator called Fortuna.

Generate Secure Key

To secure data, we need to generate an encryption key. We store the encryption key using the flutter_secure_storage package, but you can use any package/method to securely store the encryption key.

Encrypted Box

Now we have generated an encryption key that we need to pass as a parameter encryptionCipher to the method Hive.openBox().
