stash_sqlite

A stash storage extension for sqlite using the moor package

Overview

This storage extension for stash provides a storage layer through the moor persistent library and relies on a highly performing binary serialization of the cache items through the use of msgpack serialization format. This storage backend is particularly optimized to support stash features, like expiration and eviction which are highly dependent on the update of control fields on the cache entries upon user operations. On this storage backend the update of those fields does not cause the update of the whole cache entry as some of the other storage implementations like stash_hive or stash_sembast since they are stored in specific columns on the relational database model.

Getting Started

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

dependencies:
    stash_sqlite: ^x.x.x

Run the following command to install dependencies:

dart pub get

Finally, to start developing import the library:

import 'package:stash_sqlite/stash_sqlite.dart';

Usage

The example bellow stores a Task object on a file based sqlite cache. A in-memory alternative is also available as well although mostly suited for testing.

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:stash_sqlite/stash_sqlite.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 dirPath = Directory.systemTemp;
  // Temporary database file
  final file = File('${dirPath.path}/stash_sqlite.db');

  // Creates cache with a sqlite file based storage backend with the capacity of 10 entries
  final cache = newSqliteFileCache(file,
      maxEntries: 10, fromEncodable: (json) => Task.fromJson(json));

  // Adds a task with key 'task1' to the cache
  await cache.put(
      'task1', Task(id: 1, title: 'Run stash_sqlite example', completed: true));
  // Retrieves the value from the cache
  final value = await cache.get('task1');

  print(value);
}
