Sqlite in flutter, how database assets work

Question

I am looking at this (https://github.com/tekartik/sqflite/blob/master/doc/opening_asset_db.md) for populating data that is already formatted and need for the app, for read f

Answer 1

Add the asset in your file system at the root of your project. Create an assets folder and put your db file in it:

assets/examples.db

Specify the asset(s) in your pubspec.yaml in the flutter section

flutter:

  assets:

    - assets/example.db

Then you will need to open the database if it exists, or copy if it doesn't.

The link here shows the code to open/copy a pre-existing sqlite database:
