  • 0

I’m wanting to test sqlite in dart, however the only implementation that I could find is by Sam McCall on Github, however it’s out of date. While I could attempt to bring it up-to-date, I’m not very familiar with Dart yet.

I also read but haven’t been able to confirm that sqlite access is provided in the VM, but only for non-html programs. The quote where I read that says “There may be additional problems, because the Dart executable now includes the sqlite library, as part of NSS (Network Security Services, from Mozilla), which is used to implement secure sockets in dart:io.”. As I said, I’m not sure if this is correct.

I want to use sqlite with “dart:html”, and “dart.io” can’t be used with “dart.html”, however using it in a console application would be a start.

While dart provides indexed_db, I don’t see that as a replacement for sql. Also, while database access may be considered mainly a server-side requirement, there is obviously also the need on the client (eg. when offline etc.).

There would also be the possible problem of conversion to js, but that is not a concern of mine.

Any help with this would be much-appreciated.

    As Ladislav mentions, you cannot use sqlite with dart:html, because browser-based apps can only access what the browser platform provides.

    WebSQL is basically Sqlite. It still exists, is well supported on mobile, but the spec is dead. It should work fine if that’s what you want.

    For command-line Dart, you may want to check out SqlJocky, which is MySQL drivers for Dart command-line VM. Check it out here: https://github.com/jamesots/sqljocky

    Hope that helps!
