Hive VS http

The extension by default does not save any state, so we can use local storage like hive DB it's a NoSQL DB for flutter which actually stores data in Indexed DB in browser

Even the Hive readme recommends Isar https://github.com/hivedb/hive

I'm trying to learn new database for my app, it's called HiveDB (the database, not my app). In their docs, they mentions a lot about "lexicographical order". I tried to read the explanation on Wikipedia and answers from Stackoverflow but it still doesn't make any sense for me. What is that actually?

Hive is popular but there was an issue which was closed just a month ago after 2 whole years. An issue like this would be a disaster for a primary database

Here's type registry implementation code in hive if you want to check.

hive is a lightweight key-value database written in Dart for Flutter applications, inspired by Bitcask.

I'm using HiveDB for the history part, I thought I'd use SQLite, but I decided to try something I didn't know (and don't use at work)

Moor is a well-maintained ORM for sqlite3, a relational database management system. Hive is a fast but buggy key-value store. It's not an apple to apple comparison, they serve different purposes. Make the choice based on the type of data you want to store and how you need to access it.

For finding new packages, Flutter developers often visit https://pub.dev. Say you want to do a network request to a remote server using the http package, you can simply add it to your dependencies and then execute flutter pub get to fetch the package and make it ready to use.

For example if you want to add TTS functionality to your application, you can use an already existing package for it. If you want to submit POST/GET requests to an API, you can use the http package to add this.

But http package still lacks some features. Recently, the package was updated to 1.0.0. But being able to abort requests is still not supported by the http package. Plus, the package is just a wrapper around the HTTP implementation in dart:io and dart:html

There's also this package which adds the missing cancellation support, an issue open for 2 years.

http

Im using: Flutter with the dart http package;

http: It will be necessary to download the image in the temporary directory.

Add the HTTP package and getx package in pubspec.yaml.

The http package is part of Dart and has everything you need to request any remote server you want, no need to specifically be firebase or supabase. It's a bit low level so you might want to use other packages that make the task of consuming remote services easier.
