stash_hive

A stash storage extension for hive

Overview

This storage extension for stash provides a hive based storage that relies on a highly performing binary serialization of the items through the use of msgpack serialization format.

Getting Started

Add this to your pubspec.yaml (or create it) replacing x.x.x with the latest version of stash_hive:

dependencies:
    stash_hive: ^x.x.x

Run the following command to install dependencies:

dart pub get

Finally, to start developing import the library:

import 'package:stash/stash_api.dart';
import 'package:stash_hive/stash_hive.dart';

Usage

Vault

The example bellow creates a vault with a hive storage backend. In this rather simple example the serialization and deserialization of the object is coded by hand but it's more usual to rely on libraries like json_serializable.

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:stash/stash_api.dart';
import 'package:stash_hive/stash_hive.dart';

class Task {
  final int id;
  final String title;
  final bool completed;

  Task({required this.id, required this.title, this.completed = false});

  /// Creates a [Task] from json map
  factory Task.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Task(
      id: json['id'] as int,
      title: json['title'] as String,
      completed: json['completed'] as bool);

  /// Creates a json map from a [Task]
  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() =>
      <String, dynamic>{'id': id, 'title': title, 'completed': completed};

  @override
  String toString() {
    return 'Task $id, "$title" is ${completed ? "completed" : "not completed"}';
  }
}

void main() async {
  // Temporary directory
  final path = Directory.systemTemp.path;

  // Creates a store
  final store = await newHiveDefaultVaultStore(path: path);

  // Creates a vault from the previously created store
  final vault = await store.vault<Task>(
      name: 'vault', 
      fromEncodable: (json) => Task.fromJson(json),
      eventListenerMode: EventListenerMode.synchronous)
    ..on<VaultEntryCreatedEvent<Task>>().listen(
        (event) => print('Key "${event.entry.key}" added to the vault'));

  // Adds a task with key 'task1' to the vault
  await vault.put(
      'task1', Task(id: 1, title: 'Run vault store example', completed: true));
  // Retrieves the value from the vault
  print(await vault.get('task1'));
  // Closes the vault
  vault.close();
}

Cache

The example bellow creates a cache with a hive storage backend. In this rather simple example the serialization and deserialization of the object is coded by hand but it's more usual to rely on libraries like json_serializable.

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:stash/stash_api.dart';
import 'package:stash_hive/stash_hive.dart';

class Task {
  final int id;
  final String title;
  final bool completed;

  Task({required this.id, required this.title, this.completed = false});

  /// Creates a [Task] from json map
  factory Task.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Task(
      id: json['id'] as int,
      title: json['title'] as String,
      completed: json['completed'] as bool);

  /// Creates a json map from a [Task]
  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() =>
      <String, dynamic>{'id': id, 'title': title, 'completed': completed};

  @override
  String toString() {
    return 'Task $id, "$title" is ${completed ? "completed" : "not completed"}';
  }
}

void main() async {
  // Temporary directory
  final path = Directory.systemTemp.path;

  // Creates a store
  final store = await newHiveDefaultCacheStore(
      path: path, fromEncodable: (json) => Task.fromJson(json));

  // Creates a cache with a capacity of 10 from the previously created store
  final cache = await store.cache<Task>(
      name: 'cache1',
      maxEntries: 10,
      eventListenerMode: EventListenerMode.synchronous)
    ..on<CacheEntryCreatedEvent<Task>>().listen(
        (event) => print('Key "${event.entry.key}" added to the cache'));

  // Adds a task with key 'task1' to the cache
  await cache.put(
      'task1', Task(id: 1, title: 'Run cache store example', completed: true));
  // Retrieves the value from the cache
  print(await cache.get('task1'));
  // Closes the cache
  cache.close();
}
