BoxBase<E> class abstract

Boxes contain all of your data. In the browser, each box has its own IndexedDB database. On all other platforms, each Box is stored in a seperate file in the Hive home directory.

Write operations are asynchronous but the new values are immediately available. The returned Future finishes when the change is written to the backend. If this operation fails, the changes are being reverted.

Read operations for normal boxes are synchronous (the entries are in memory). Lazy boxes have asynchronous read operations.

Constructors

Properties

hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isEmpty → bool
Returns true if there are no entries in this box.
no setter
isNotEmpty → bool
Returns true if there is at least one entries in this box.
no setter
isOpen → bool
Whether this box is currently open.
no setter
keys → Iterable
All the keys in the box.
no setter
lazy → bool
Whether this box is lazy or not.
no setter
length → int
The number of entries in the box.
no setter
name → String
The name of the box. Names are always lowercase.
no setter
path → String?
The location of the box in the file system. In the browser, this is null.
no setter
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited

Methods

add(E value) → Future<int>
Saves the value with an auto-increment key.
addAll(Iterable<E> values) → Future<Iterable<int>>
Saves all the values with auto-increment keys.
clear() → Future<int>
Removes all entries from the box.
close() → Future<void>
Closes the box.
compact() → Future<void>
Induces compaction manually. This is rarely needed. You should consider providing a custom compaction strategy instead.
containsKey(dynamic key) → bool
Checks whether the box contains the key.
delete(dynamic key) → Future<void>
Deletes the given key from the box.
deleteAll(Iterable keys) → Future<void>
Deletes all the given keys from the box.
deleteAt(int index) → Future<void>
Deletes the n-th key from the box.
deleteFromDisk() → Future<void>
Removes the file which contains the box and closes the box.
flush() → Future<void>
Flushes all pending changes of the box to disk.
keyAt(int index) → dynamic
Get the n-th key in the box.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
put(dynamic key, E value) → Future<void>
Saves the key - value pair.
putAll(Map<dynamic, E> entries) → Future<void>
Saves all the key - value pairs in the entries map.
putAt(int index, E value) → Future<void>
Associates the value with the n-th key. An exception is raised if the key does not exist.
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
watch({dynamic key}) → Stream<BoxEvent>
Returns a broadcast stream of change events.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
