How to Delete All Data from Sembast DB on the Web using Flutter

Managing your application’s data is an essential part of software development. When you’re working with a local database like Sembast in your Flutter app, there will come a time when you need to clear all data to start fresh—especially during testing or development stages. This post tackles a common question among Flutter developers: How do you delete all data stored from Sembast db on the web?

Understanding Sembast and IndexedDB

Before diving into the solution, let’s clarify a few concepts:

Sembast: This is a NoSQL persistent database for Flutter, allowing you to store data locally on both mobile and web platforms.

IndexedDB: A low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data, including files/blobs. It’s the underlying storage mechanism used by Sembast when running on the web.

When deploying your Flutter app on the web, Sembast utilizes IndexedDB to manage data persistence. If you're transitioning from Android development, where you can easily delete an app's data via the settings, you might find the web approach slightly different.

Steps to Delete All Data from Sembast DB on Chrome

Here’s a simple guide to wiping out your Sembast database data using Chrome's developer tools:

Step 1: Open Chrome Developer Tools

Launch your app in Google Chrome.

Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect or press Ctrl + Shift + I (or Cmd + Option + I on Mac) to open the Developer Tools.

Step 2: Navigate to the Applications Tab

In the Developer Tools, find and select the Applications tab.

This section provides an overview of all the stored data, including IndexedDB, Local Storage, and cookies.

Step 3: Locate IndexedDB

On the left pane under the Storage section, look for IndexedDB.

You should see a list of databases created by your applications.

Step 4: Find Your Sembast Database

Locate the database that corresponds to your Sembast db name. It will usually have the same name as you’ve provided in your Sembast setup.

Step 5: Delete the Database

Click on your Sembast database to expand its contents.

Right-click on the database name and select Delete Database from the context menu.

Confirm the action—a quick pop-up will likely ask you to confirm your deletion.

Congratulations! You've successfully deleted all data in your Sembast db running on the web.

Conclusion

Deleting your Sembast database on the web may seem a bit intimidating at first, especially if you're accustomed to mobile development. However, with these straightforward steps in Chrome Developer Tools, you'll find it’s a quick process to clear out old data and ready your app for new testing scenarios. Remember, before you delete your database, make sure that you have backups if necessary, so you don’t lose important information.

By understanding the connection between Sembast and IndexedDB and following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your testing environment is always fresh and ready for development!
