CloudSyncHiveAdapter

A Hive-powered implementation of the SyncAdapter from the cloud_sync package.

This adapter enables fast, offline-first local persistence of metadata and content using Hive. Great for syncing notes, logs, or custom data structures locally with cloud fallback support.

---

✨ Features

• 💾 Stores metadata (SyncMetadata) and detailed content (String) using Hive.
• ⚡ Fast and efficient with Hive's key-value storage.
• 🔄 Compatible with cloud_sync for hybrid local/cloud sync.
• 📴 Fully offline-capable — ideal for mobile, embedded, or disconnected use cases.

---

📦 Installation

Add dependencies to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  hive_ce: ^latest
  cloud_sync: ^latest
  cloud_sync_hive_adapter: ^latest

✅ Make sure you initialize Hive and register any needed adapters before use.

🚀 Usage Example

import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:hive_ce/hive.dart';
import 'package:cloud_sync_hive_adapter/cloud_sync_hive_adapter.dart';
import 'your_models/my_metadata.dart'; // Define your SyncMetadata model

void main() async {
  await Hive.initFlutter(); // or Hive.init('path')

  // Optionally register your custom metadata adapter, if needed
  // Hive.registerAdapter(MyMetadataAdapter());

  final metadataBox = await Hive.openBox<String>('metadataBox');
  final detailBox = await Hive.openLazyBox<String>('detailBox');

  final adapter = CloudSyncHiveAdapter<MyMetadata>(
    metadataBox: metadataBox,
    detailBox: detailBox,
    metadataToJson: (meta) => jsonEncode(meta.toJson()),
    metadataFromJson: (json) => MyMetadata.fromJson(jsonDecode(json)),
    getMetadataId: (meta) => meta.id,
    isCurrentMetadataBeforeOther: (a, b) => a.updatedAt.isBefore(b.updatedAt),
  );

  // Use with CloudSync:
  // final cloudSync = CloudSync(adapter: adapter);
}

🧱 Class Overview

class CloudSyncHiveAdapter<M extends SyncMetadata>
  extends SerializableSyncAdapter<M, String>

🔧 Constructor Parameters

Parameter	Description
metadataBox	Box<String> for serialized metadata (JSON).
detailBox	LazyBox<String> for detailed string content.
metadataToJson	Converts metadata to JSON String.
metadataFromJson	Parses JSON String into metadata.
getMetadataId	Returns the unique ID for a metadata object.
isCurrentMetadataBeforeOther	Compares metadata objects for version ordering (e.g., by updatedAt).

---

✅ When to Use

• 📲 Need fast, reliable local sync for mobile or desktop.
• 📴 Want offline-first functionality for notes, logs, tasks, etc.
• 🌩️ Plan to combine Hive storage with cloud sync (e.g., Google Drive or Firebase).
• 🧪 Prototyping or testing sync logic locally.

---

⚠️ Notes

• Store only String data in Hive boxes with this adapter.
• For complex object storage, use Hive’s custom type adapters directly or extend the adapter.
• Avoid storing large binary data — Hive is optimized for structured key-value data.
