I have some data in the form of objects on my firebase rtdb, I just want to retrieve the data on my device and save it using the persistence method. I've been on this for a month now and looked out for a lot of possible solutions but that doesn't seem to help. Here is the structure of my data:

(Let me know if you require any missing piece of information) enter image description here

Thanks in advance!

Edit #1

This is what I tried

class contact{
 final String name,desig,category,ip_direct,ip_office,ip_res,ll_off,ll_res,mob;

 contact({this.name,this.desig,this.category,
   this.ip_direct,this.ip_office,this.ip_res,this.ll_off,this.ll_res,this.mob});

 factory contact.fromJson(Map<dynamic, dynamic> json){
  return contact(
    name: json["Name"],
    desig: json["Design"],
    category: json["Category"],
    ip_direct: json["IP Direct"].toString(),
    ip_office: json["IP Office"].toString(),
    ip_res: json["IP Home"].toString(),
    ll_off: json["LL Office"].toString(),
    ll_res: json["LL Home"].toString(),
    mob: json["Mobile"].toString(),
  );
 }
}

Future<List<contact>> getList()async{
    final dbRef = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child("Deans");
    List<contact> list=new List();
    DataSnapshot snap=await dbRef.once();
    List<dynamic> obj=snap.value;

    for(int i=0; i<obj.length; i++){
      list.add(contact.fromJson(obj[i]));
    }
    return list;
  }

I cannot persist data here

I had the same problem and could not find the solution, until I looked inside the library file and the solution was simpler than I thought.

....
final Future<bool> db = FirebaseDatabase().setPersistenceEnabled(true);

final DatabaseReference _fechasRef =
  FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child('...');
....

The first line communicates that the data must be stored, because in firebase realtime database data persistence is not enabled by default.

Firebase realtime database is persistent by default and your code will work even off line once the data has been loaded at least once.

  • I believe what you're talking about is firestore, because i didn't find any such thing in realtime database. There is a feature for offline persistence in realtime DB, but by default it's turned off – Ayush Nanglia Jul 01 '21 at 06:56
