PocketSyncDatabase

In our Flutter SDK, PocketSyncDatabase is a wrapper around sqflite database. Our Typescript SDK (planned) will use sql.js.

​
Usage

PocketSyncDatabase is initialized with PocketSync instance. You can access it via PocketSync.instance.database.

final db = PocketSync.instance.database;

​
CRUD Operations

PocketSyncDatabase provides simple methods for performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on your data.

​
Create

// Insert a record
final id = await db.insert(
  'todos',
  {
    'title': 'Buy groceries',
    'completed': 0,
    'created_at': DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch,
  },
);

​
Read

// Get all records
final todos = await db.query('todos');

// Get a specific record
final todo = await db.query(
  'todos',
  where: 'id = ?',
  whereArgs: [1],
);

// Get records with conditions
final incompleteTodos = await db.query(
  'todos',
  where: 'completed = ?',
  whereArgs: [0],
  orderBy: 'created_at DESC',
);

​
Update

// Update a record
final count = await db.update(
  'todos',
  {'completed': 1},
  where: 'id = ?',
  whereArgs: [1],
);

​
Delete

// Delete a record
final count = await db.delete(
  'todos',
  where: 'id = ?',
  whereArgs: [1],
);

// Delete all records
final count = await db.delete('todos');

​
Transactions

// Perform multiple operations in a transaction
await db.transaction((txn) async {
  await txn.insert('todos', {'title': 'Buy groceries'});
  await txn.insert('todos', {'title': 'Buy milk'});
});

​
Batch operations

// Perform multiple operations in a batch
await db.batch((batch) {
  batch.insert('todos', {'title': 'Buy groceries'});
  batch.insert('todos', {'title': 'Buy milk'});
});

​
Raw SQL

// Execute a raw SQL query
final todos = await db.rawQuery('SELECT * FROM todos');

​
Watch changes

// Watch changes to a table
final stream = db.watch('todos');

// Listen to changes
stream.listen((event) {
  print(event);
});

​
Supported datatypes

PocketSyncDatabase does not support the following datatypes:

  • DateTime is not a supported SQLite type. Use INTEGER and millisSinceEpoch values.
  • bool is not a supported SQLite type. Use INTEGER and 0 and 1 values.

PocketSyncDatabase is a wrapper around sqflite, hence it supports all the features of sqflite and shares their limitations.
