flutter-databases

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Flutter developers design and implement a consistent, testable data layer that centralizes persistence, avoids direct UI access to storage, and provides offline-capable caching strategies so apps remain reliable and maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Decision-driven storage selection: Guides whether to use shared_preferences, SQLite (sqflite/drift), or non-relational stores (Hive/Isar) based on data shape and access patterns.
• Stateless service wrappers: Encapsulates direct DB and API access into stateless services to simplify testing and isolate side effects.
• Repository as single source of truth: Implements repositories that guarantee the database is open before operations, transform raw data into domain models, and coordinate sync/merge logic.
• Use Case: Build a todo app with local persistence, offline-first sync to a remote API, and a repository that presents domain models to the UI layer.

Quick Start

Configure dependencies, answer which entities need persistence, and let the skill scaffold domain models, a stateless database service, and a repository implementation.
