Flutter hive delete all data

by

To delete all data from Hive in a Flutter application, you can follow these steps:

  1. Initialize Hive in your main function:
    
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:hive/hive.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart' as path_provider;

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  final appDocumentDir = await path_provider.getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
  Hive.init(appDocumentDir.path);
  
  runApp(MyApp());
}
  1. Define a Hive box and open it:
    
void openHiveBox() async {
  await Hive.openBox('myBox');
}
  1. Delete all data from the Hive box:
    
void deleteAllData() async {
  final box = Hive.box('myBox');
  await box.clear();
}

In this example, we initialize Hive in the main function using the Hive.init() method, which requires the path of the application documents directory. Then, we define a Hive box named ‘myBox’ using the Hive.openBox() method. Finally, to delete all data from the box, we call the clear() method on the box object.

Remember to import the necessary packages: package:flutter/material.dart and package:hive/hive.dart for Flutter, and package:path_provider/path_provider.dart for accessing the application documents directory.
