> #### Isar [ee-zahr]: > > 1. River in Bavaria, Germany. > 2. [Crazy fast](#benchmarks) NoSQL database that is a joy to use. ## Features - ๐Ÿ’™ **Made for Flutter**. Easy to use, no config, no boilerplate - ๐Ÿš€ **Highly scalable** The sky is the limit (pun intended) - ๐Ÿญ **Feature rich**. Composite & multi-entry indexes, query modifiers, JSON support etc. - โฑ **Asynchronous**. Parallel query operations & multi-isolate support by default - ๐Ÿฆ„ **Open source**. Everything is open source and free forever! Isar database can do much more (and we are just getting started) - ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ **Full-text search**. Make searching fast and fun - ๐Ÿ“ฑ **Multiplatform**. iOS, Android, Desktop - ๐Ÿงช **ACID semantics**. Rely on database consistency - ๐Ÿ’ƒ **Static typing**. Compile-time checked and autocompleted queries - โœจ **Beautiful documentation**. Readable, easy to understand and ever-improving Join the [Telegram group](https://t.me/isardb) for discussion and sneak peeks of new versions of the DB.

Add to pubspec.yaml ```yaml isar_version: &isar_version 3.1.0 # define the version to be used dependencies: isar: *isar_version isar_flutter_libs: *isar_version # contains Isar Core dev_dependencies: isar_generator: *isar_version build_runner: any ``` ### 2. Annotate a Collection ```dart part 'email.g.dart'; @collection class Email { Id id = Isar.autoIncrement; // you can also use id = null to auto increment @Index(type: IndexType.value) String? title; List? recipients; @enumerated Status status = Status.pending; } @embedded class Recipient { String? name; String? address; } enum Status { draft, pending, sent, } ``` ### 3. Open a database instance ```dart final dir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory(); final isar = await Isar.open( [EmailSchema], directory: dir.path, ); ``` ### 4. Query the database ```dart final emails = await isar.emails.filter() .titleContains('awesome', caseSensitive: false) .sortByStatusDesc() .limit(10) .findAll(); ``` ## Isar Database Inspector The Isar Inspector allows you to inspect the Isar instances & collections of your app in real-time. You can execute queries, edit properties, switch between instances and sort the data. To launch the inspector, just run your Isar app in debug mode and open the Inspector link in the logs. ## CRUD operations All basic crud operations are available via the `IsarCollection`. ```dart final newEmail = Email()..title = 'Amazing new database'; await isar.writeTxn(() { await isar.emails.put(newEmail); // insert & update }); final existingEmail = await isar.emails.get(newEmail.id!); // get await isar.writeTxn(() { await isar.emails.delete(existingEmail.id!); // delete }); ``` ## Database Queries Isar database has a powerful query language that allows you to make use of your indexes, filter distinct objects, use complex `and()`, `or()` and `.xor()` groups, query links and sort the results. ```dart final importantEmails = isar.emails .where() .titleStartsWith('Important') // use index .limit(10) .findAll() final specificEmails = isar.emails .filter() .recipient((q) => q.nameEqualTo('David')) // query embedded objects .or() .titleMatches('*university*', caseSensitive: false) // title containing 'university' (case insensitive) .findAll() ``` ## Database Watchers With Isar database, you can watch collections, objects, or queries. A watcher is notified after a transaction commits successfully and the target actually changes. Watchers can be lazy and not reload the data or they can be non-lazy and fetch new results in the background. ```dart Stream collectionStream = isar.emails.watchLazy(); Stream> queryStream = importantEmails.watch(); queryStream.listen((newResult) { // do UI updates }) ``` ## Benchmarks Benchmarks only give a rough idea of the performance of a database but as you can see, Isar NoSQL database is quite fast ๐Ÿ˜‡ | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | If you are interested in more benchmarks or want to check how Isar performs on your device you can run the [benchmarks](https://github.com/isar/isar_benchmark) yourself. ## Unit tests If you want to use Isar database in unit tests or Dart code, call `await Isar.initializeIsarCore(download: true)` before using Isar in your tests. Isar NoSQL database will automatically download the correct binary for your platform. You can also pass a `libraries` map to adjust the download location for each platform. Make sure to use `flutter test -j 1` to avoid tests running in parallel. This would break the automatic download. ## Contributors โœจ Big thanks go to these wonderful people:
