Overview
Sqlbrite is a lightweight Flutter package that wraps sqflite to bring reactive stream semantics to SQLite database operations. Built on RxDart, it enables developers to observe database changes in real time through streams, making it ideal for building responsive, data-driven applications. It simplifies querying, inserting, updating, and deleting data by transforming SQL operations into observable streams. Designed for Android, iOS, and macOS, Sqlbrite enhances state management and reduces boilerplate when working with local databases.
