Does this support mobile and flutter?
The only dart/flutter compatible vector db project I am aware of is this: https://github.com/FastCodeAI/DVDB.
I was wondering whether this would support Android / IoS / Flutter?
Specifically, Flutter has the following package: import 'package:sqflite/sqflite.dart' [1]; and I am curious whether this sqlite-vec would be compatible with this?
Ideally it should work on mobile devices. It's written in portable C, so theoretically you should be able to compile sqlite-vec to work on any mobile device.
I'm unsure about sqflite, however. Is it possible to load sqlite extensions in sqflite? I can't seem to find any examples of that in their documentation. I guess we could compile on own version of SQLite with sqlite-vec builtin, but I'm unsure how the sqflite ecosystem usually handles these things
To be clear: I 100% want sqlite-vec to work on all devices, including Android/iOS/Flutter/Dart etc. But I haven't personally ever done much mobile development in the past. Would be happy to make it work if someone shows me the ropes!
Hi Alex, Makes sense, thanks. I think flutter/dart would be good for "two birds-one stone"ing the problem in terms of Android and IoS compatibility.
Regarding the ability to load extensions with sqflite, I found:
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53351775/loading-json1-extension-with-flutter-sqflite
- https://github.com/tekartik/sqflite/issues/105
I will keep digging, and post here if I find a lead.
Made a flutter example, even got it working on MacOS!
