Flutter Offline

To add data persistence you can extend the class ChatPersistenceClient and pass an instance to the StreamChatClient.

We provide an official persistent client in the stream_chat_persistence package that works using the library moor (https://moor.simonbinder.eu), an SQLite ORM.

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file, using the latest version

You should then run flutter packages get

The usage is pretty simple.

1. Create a new instance of StreamChatPersistenceClient providing logLevel and connectionMode

2. Pass the instance to the official StreamChatClient

And you are ready to go...

Note that passing ConnectionMode.background the database uses a background isolate to unblock the main thread. The StreamChatClient uses the chatPersistentClient to synchronize the database with the newest information every time it receives new data about channels/messages/users.

The DB file is named after the userId, so if you instantiate a client using a different userId you will use a different database. Calling client.disconnect(flushOfflineStorage: true) flushes all current database data.

The information about the action is saved in offline storage. When the client returns online, everything is retried.
