Flutter – Store Data in Hive Local Database
Hive is a data storage in our phone where we can store data in boxes. We can store an integer, string, list of strings, Boolean, double, models, list of integers, etc. in Hive. Now let us discuss where we can implement these. The first we can use this is to save the user information user is logged in or not, and any id or user details so that users don’t have to log in again whenever a user open that app. You can store bigger data also but it will store for a particular device only. Hive is a NoSQL server where you can store a maximum number of data in any form.
