ichibase 0.2.0

Official client-side SDK for ichibase — Postgres, MongoDB, Auth, Storage and Realtime from Flutter, Dart server, or CLI. Anon key only.

ichibase (Dart / Flutter)

The official client-side SDK for ichibase — Postgres, MongoDB, Auth, Storage, and Realtime from a single client. Works in Flutter (iOS, Android, web, desktop), Dart servers, and CLIs. Anon key only.

Mirrors the TypeScript @ichibase/client. Building a backend/admin tool with the service key? Use the server SDKs — this package refuses ich_admin_ keys by design.

Install

# pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  ichibase: ^0.1.0

import 'package:ichibase/ichibase.dart';

final ichi = Ichibase.createClient(
  'https://<project>.ichibase.net',
  'ich_pub_…', // publishable (anon) key — safe to ship in your app
);

Database (PostgREST)

Awaiting a query runs it. Every call returns an IchibaseResponse with data and error (check res.ok).

// Read with filters / ordering / pagination
final res = await ichi
    .from('posts')
    .select('id, title, author')
    .eq('published', true)
    .order('created_at', ascending: false)
    .limit(20);
print(res.data); // List of rows

// Insert / update / delete
await ichi.from('posts').insert({'title': 'Hello'});
await ichi.from('posts').update({'title': 'Edited'}).eq('id', 1);
await ichi.from('posts').delete().eq('id', 1);

// One row, or a total count
final one = await ichi.from('posts').select('*').eq('id', 1).single();
final counted = await ichi.from('posts').select('*').count(); // {rows, count}

// RPC (SQL function)
final total = await ichi.rpc('count_posts', args: {'author': userId});

Auth + per-user access

After login, data calls use the user's access token, so your RLS policies and realtime rules see them.

await ichi.auth.signup(email: email, password: password);
final login = await ichi.auth.login(email: email, password: password);

await ichi.from('posts').insert({'title': 'mine'}); // runs as the user

final user = await ichi.auth.getUser();
await ichi.auth.logout();

ichi.onAuthStateChange.listen((s) {
  // s.event == AuthEvent.signedIn | signedOut | tokenRefreshed
});

Persisting the session

The session lives in memory by default. Plug in a SessionStore to keep users logged in across restarts (back it with shared_preferences or flutter_secure_storage), then hydrate once at startup:

final ichi = Ichibase.createClient(url, anonKey, store: MySecureStore());
await ichi.auth /* not needed */;
await ichi.loadSession();

Mongo

await ichi.mongo.collection('orders').insertOne({'total': 42});
final docs = await ichi.mongo.collection('orders').find({'total': {'\$gt': 10}});

Storage

Storage is not on the client. Read/upload tokens are minted server-side by the project owner (an Edge Function using the service key) and handed to your app — so private files stay the owner's responsibility. Public files are read directly from https://cdn.ichibase.net/<project>/public/<path>. See the Storage docs.

Realtime

final sub = ichi.realtime.subscribe(
  kind: 'postgres',
  table: 'messages',
  events: ['INSERT'],
  onMessage: (msg) => print('${msg['event']} ${msg['record']}'),
);

// Broadcast + presence
final room = ichi.realtime.subscribe(
  kind: 'broadcast',
  channel: 'room:42',
  presence: true,
  onMessage: (msg) => print(msg),
);
room.send('chat', {'text': 'hi'});
room.track({'typing': true});

sub.unsubscribe();

Security

The anon key is publishable — access is gated by your Row-Level Security policies (Postgres) and collection policies (Mongo), not by hiding the key. Enable RLS on everything you expose. Never put an ich_admin_ (service) key in an app. Full docs: https://ichibase.com/docs.
