dartnative_hive

Hive for DartNative — a fast, pure-Dart key–value database with a one-line native init. Same API on iOS and Android (and anywhere Dart runs).

Why you'll like it

• Pure-Dart speed — Hive (community edition), no platform channels.
• One-line init — Hive.initDartNative(docsDir) and you're set.
• The full Hive API — boxes, type adapters, lazy boxes — re-exported as-is.

Highlights

• Hive.initDartNative(docsDirPath, {subDir}) — point Hive at a storage directory.
• Hive.openBox(name) + box.put / box.get / box.delete — the usual Hive API.

Install

dependencies:
  dartnative_hive: ^1.0.0   # from dartpub.dev

dn pub get

Quick look

import 'package:dartnative_hive/dartnative_hive.dart';

// Point Hive at your app's documents directory, once at startup:
Hive.initDartNative(documentsPath);

final box = await Hive.openBox('settings');
await box.put('theme', 'dark');
final theme = box.get('theme'); // 'dark'

Platform setup

iOS

No native setup required.

Android

No native setup required.

Example

The example/ app opens a box and round-trips a value — borrow from it freely.

Run it:

cd example
dn pub get
dn run -d <device-id>

The example is an official demo — free to run, no license setup. Always use dn (not the underlying SDK CLI) for run/build/pub commands.
