How to encrypt the SQLite database in Flutter?












3















I am creating a database in Flutter by the following code, is there any way we can encrypt the database?



Is there any library available for Flutter?



initDb() async {
io.Directory documentsDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String path = join(documentsDirectory.path, "test.db");
var theDb = await openDatabase(path, version: 1, onCreate: _onCreate);
return theDb;
}

          Current sqflite uses whatever sqlite version the platform provides. There is a discussion about that here that you could follow here:
          https://github.com/tekartik/sqflite/issues/32



          The only solution I am aware now is this one https://github.com/QwilApp/encrypted_sqlite which can be used as a drop-in replacement to sqflite which as you stated uses SQLCipher on the native side
