This Skill guides Flutter developers to implement persistent local storage using Drift (SQLite) with type-safe queries and reactive data streams, reducing boilerplate and preventing data loss.
Add dependencies drift, drift_flutter, and path_provider to pubspec.yaml and run code generation with drift_dev and build_runner. Create a Drift database class annotated with @DriftDatabase and implement the database with driftDatabase support for mobile/web/desktop. Run: dart run build_runner build. Then import the generated code and start using drift queries in your Flutter UI.

Drift enables reactive local storage in Flutter by using SQLite under the hood and exposing data through streams. You connect these streams to a StreamBuilder to automatically rebuild your UI whenever underlying database records change.
Database migrations in Drift are managed within your database class definition to safely evolve your schema. You implement migration strategies to alter tables during version updates, preventing data loss when modifying local storage structures.
Yes, you need build_runner alongside the drift_dev package to use Drift in a Flutter project. Running dart run build_runner build executes code generation, creating the type-safe boilerplate required for your SQLite queries and database setup.
You integrate Drift streams with Provider or Riverpod by exposing your Drift database instance through the state management layer. This injects reactive stream data into the widget tree, allowing StreamBuilder to observe local storage changes efficiently.
