Remote sqld & Turso
libSQL is a SQLite fork which supports hosting databases with a SQLite-compatible format and dialect on servers. Drift can connect to these databases with the drift_hrana
package, named after the Hrana protocol used to connect to such a server.
Once you have a host to connect to, use HranaDatabase
as a constructor argument to your database class:
import 'package:drift/drift.dart';
import 'package:drift_hrana/drift_hrana.dart';
@DriftDatabase(...)
class AppDatabase extends _$AppDatabase {
AppDatabase(super.e);
@override
int get schemaVersion => 1;
}
void main() async {
final database = AppDatabase(HranaDatabase(
Uri.parse('ws://localhost:8080/'),
jwtToken: null,
));
}
This will make drift connect to the server and issue database calls over websockets. Note that streamed queries will not work across different clients connecting to the same database like this, as sqld has no support for that at the moment.
drift_hrana
is not part of the core Drift project and instead maintained in this repository. If you have ideas for additional features, or if you're running into problems with drift_hrana
, please file issues in that repository. Just like with the core drift package, contributions are always welcome!
