Riverpod — Offline persistence (experimental)

Instructions

Offline persistence stores provider state on device so it survives restarts and works offline. Riverpod is storage-agnostic; packages like riverpod_sqflite provide a Storage implementation. Only Notifier-based providers can be persisted. The feature is experimental.

Creating a Storage

Install a package (e.g. riverpod_sqflite + sqflite) and create a Storage. With SQFlite:

final storageProvider = FutureProvider<Storage<String, String>>((ref) async {
  return JsonSqFliteStorage.open(
    join(await getDatabasesPath(), 'riverpod.db'),
  );
});
