getDatabasesPath function

Future<String> getDatabasesPath()

Get the default databases location.

A relative path given to openDatabase is relative to this location.

On Android, it is typically data/data/<package_name>/databases

On iOS and MacOS, it is the Documents directory.

With sqflite_common_ffi (Windows, Linux, Dart VM), it is .dart_tool/sqflite_common_ffi/databases in the current directory: fine for tests, not for an installed application. On the web (sqflite_common_ffi_web), it is / (a path is only a name).

Note for iOS and non-Android platforms: Using path_provider is recommended to get the databases directory. The most appropriate location on iOS would be the Library directory that you could get from the path_provider package (https://pub.dev/documentation/path_provider/latest/path_provider/getLibraryDirectory.html).

Implementation

Future<String> getDatabasesPath() => databaseFactory.getDatabasesPath();
