stash_sqlite 5.1.0

storage extension for the stash API. Provides support to store vaults and caches in a sqlite database in binary format using the msgpack json format

stash_sqlite

A stash storage extension for sqlite using the drift package

Overview

This storage extension for stash provides a storage layer through the drift 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 cache features, like expiration and eviction which are highly dependent on the update of control fields on the 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/stash_api.dart';
import 'package:stash_sqlite/stash_sqlite.dart';

Usage

Vault

The example bellow creates a vault with a shared sqlite 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_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 for a shared store
  final file = File('${dirPath.path}/stash_sqlite.sdb');

  // Creates a store
  final store = await newSqliteLocalVaultStore(file: file);

  // 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'));
}

Cache

The example bellow creates a cache with a shared sqlite 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_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 for a shared store
  final file = File('${dirPath.path}/stash_sqlite.sdb');

  // Creates a store
  final store = await newSqliteLocalCacheStore(file: file);

  // Creates a cache with a capacity of 10 from the previously created store
  final cache = await store.cache<Task>(
      name: 'cache1',
      fromEncodable: (json) => Task.fromJson(json),
      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'));
}
