🎯 Platform Support #

🔌 Getting Started #

1. Add cbl and cbl_dart as dependencies:

   dependencies:
     cbl: ...
     cbl_dart: ...
   

2. Initialize Couchbase Lite before using it. This is also where you select the edition of Couchbase Lite you want to use:

   import 'package:cbl_dart/cbl_dart.dart';
   
   Future<void> initCouchbaseLite() async {
     await CouchbaseLiteDart.init(edition: Edition.community);
   }
   

   Note that init downloads the needed native libraries if they have not already been cached. See the documentation for CouchbaseLiteDart.init for more information.

   ⚖️ You need to comply with the Couchbase licensing terms of the edition of Couchbase Lite you select.

Default database directory #

When opening a database without specifying a directory, the current working directory will be used. CouchbaseLiteDart.init allows you to specify a different default directory.

💡 Where to go next #

• Check out the example app in the Example tab.
• Look at the usage examples for cbl (go to the latest prerelease).
