Usage

DBF Version

log(dbf.version);

Get last updated date

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
log(dbf.lastUpdated);

View structure

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
log(dbf.showStructure);

View total number of records

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
log(dbf.totalRecords);

Select all records and store in a list of <Row>, take care that is an async function so it returns a future

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
List<Row> rows = await dbf.select();

Select all records whith a condition and store in a list of <Row>

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
// This is equivalent in SQL as: SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE first_column != "";
List<Row> rows = await dbf.select(condition: (Row r) => r.get(0).value != "");

Get all records using stream version

final dbf = DBF(fileName: "./file.dbf");
// Stream data example;
void useStream () async {
    // Using await for
    await for (Row row in dbf.getRowsAsync()) {
        print(row.toString());
    }

    // Using Stream.listen
    dbf.getRowsAsync().listen((Row r) {
        print(r.toString());
    });
}
