What problem does it solve?

Flutter apps often struggle with selecting and integrating appropriate storage solutions across local and cloud data stores. This Skill provides a robust guide with code samples, patterns, and best practices for Hive, SharedPreferences, sqflite, Drift, and Firestore, plus migration and offline-sync strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Local storage options: Hive, SharedPreferences, SQLite (sqflite), Drift for structured data.
• Cloud & sync: Firestore and offline-first patterns with synchronization logic.
• Security & migrations: Encryption patterns and versioned migrations to evolve schemas safely.
• Use Case: Build a Flutter app that stores user profiles locally and syncs with Firestore when online, including migrations for schema changes.

Quick Start

1. Add dependencies in pubspec.yaml for hive, hive_flutter, shared_preferences, sqflite, drift, firebase_core, cloud_firestore, etc.
2. Initialize local storage and Firestore, define models, and implement a basic sync flow.
3. Run the app and verify offline-first behavior by toggling network connectivity.
