I am using the hive database to store the money variable. I want to access this database from different pages, so I defined the box on the globals.dart
page. I just want this box to be null when the application is first opened, but every time I open the application globals.box
returns null and my money
variable is resetting to 1000
. How can I fix this?
This is my main file:
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
globals.isLoggedIn = true;
await Hive.initFlutter();
await Hive.openBox<int>('stat');
if (globals.box == null) {
globals.box = Hive.box<int>('stat');
globals.box.put('money', 1000);
}
runApp(MyApp());
}
This is my globals file
library my_prj.globals;
import 'package:hive/hive.dart';
bool isLoggedIn = false;
Box<int> box;
I am using this code to change the money variable:
import 'package:app1/globals.dart' as globals;
globals.box.put('money', globals.box.get('money') + 100);
You can copy paste run two full code below
Step 1: You can use globals.box = await Hive.openBox<int>('stat');
Step 2: Check globals.box.get('money') == null
, and set default value to 1000
code snippet
globals.box = await Hive.openBox<int>('stat');
if (globals.box.get('money') == null) {
print("box is null, set defaul value to 1000");
globals.box.put('money', 1000);
} else {
print("box is not null, current value is ${globals.box.get('money')}");
}
output for first time open App
I/flutter ( 8143): box is null, set defaul value to 1000
click button and second time open App
I/flutter ( 8217): box is not null, current value is 1100
