initFlutter method

Future<void> initFlutter([
  1. String? subDir,
  2. HiveStorageBackendPreference backendPreference = HiveStorageBackendPreference.native
])

Initializes Hive with the path from getApplicationDocumentsDirectory.

You can provide a subDir where the boxes should be stored.

Also registers the flutter type adapters.

Implementation

Future<void> initFlutter([
  String? subDir,
  HiveStorageBackendPreference backendPreference =
      HiveStorageBackendPreference.native,
]) async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  String? path;
  if (!kIsWeb) {
    final appDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    path = path_helper.join(appDir.path, subDir);
  }

  init(
    path,
    backendPreference: backendPreference,
  );

  registerAdapter(ColorAdapter());
  registerAdapter(TimeOfDayAdapter());
}
