Build a Flutter To-Do App with Hive and Singleton Class
Hello there! In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a Flutter To-Do App that uses Hive for local storage.
We’ll also apply the Singleton Design Pattern to make our code more efficient and reusable. Hive is a fast, lightweight NoSQL database that works perfectly with Flutter.
In this tutorial, we’ll build a To-Do app where you can add tasks, mark them as completed, and persist the tasks even after closing and reopening the app.
What is Hive and Why Should You Use It in Flutter?
Hive is a lightweight and fast NoSQL database that’s optimized for Flutter. Unlike traditional databases like SQLite, Hive stores data in key-value pairs, making it ideal for small to medium-sized apps that need a simple and efficient storage solution. Since we’re building a basic To-Do app, Hive is a perfect choice!
Hive works well for storing objects in Flutter and is known for being fast, secure, and easy to integrate. It also doesn’t require complex schemas like relational databases do, which makes it simpler to set up for small apps.
In our Flutter To-Do App, we’ll use Hive to store the list of tasks and their completion statuses.
