- River in Bavaria, Germany.
- Crazy fast NoSQL database that is a joy to use.
- 💙 Made for Flutter. Easy to use, no config, no boilerplate
- 🚀 Highly scalable The sky is the limit (pun intended)
- 🍭 Feature rich. Composite & multi-entry indexes, query modifiers, JSON support etc.
- ⏱ Asynchronous. Parallel query operations & multi-isolate support by default
- 🦄 Open source. Everything is open source and free forever!
Isar database can do much more (and we are just getting started)
- 🕵️ Full-text search. Make searching fast and fun
- 📱 Multiplatform. iOS, Android, Desktop and FULL WEB SUPPORT!
- 🧪 ACID semantics. Rely on database consistency
- 💃 Static typing. Compile-time checked and autocompleted queries
- ✨ Beautiful documentation. Readable, easy to understand and ever-improving

Holy smokes you're here! Let's get started on using the coolest Flutter database out there...
dependencies:
isar: 3.0.0-dev.13
isar_flutter_libs: 3.0.0-dev.13 # contains Isar Core
dev_dependencies:
isar_generator: 3.0.0-dev.13
build_runner: any
part 'email.g.dart';
@collection
class Email {
Id id = Isar.autoIncrement; // you can also use id = null to auto increment
String? title;
List<Recipient>? recipients;
@enumerated
Status status = Status.pending;
}
@embedded
class Recipient {
String? name;
String? address;
}
enum Status {
draft,
sending,
sent,
}
final isar = await Isar.open([EmailSchema]);
final emails = await isar.emails.filter()
.titleContains('awesome', caseSensitive: false)
.sortByDateDesc()
.limit(10)
.findAll();
The Isar Inspector allows you to inspect the Isar instances & collections of your app in real-time. You can execute queries, switch between instances and sort the data.
All basic crud operations are available via the IsarCollection
.
final newPost = Post()..title = 'Amazing new database';
await isar.writeTxn(() {
newPost.id = await isar.posts.put(newPost); // insert & update
});
final existingPost = await isar.posts.get(newPost.id!); // get
await isar.writeTxn(() {
await isar.posts.delete(existingPost.id!); // delete
});
Isar database has a powerful query language that allows you to make use of your indexes, filter distinct objects, use complex and()
, or()
and .xor()
groups, query links and sort the results.
final usersWithPrefix = isar.users
.where()
.nameStartsWith('dan') // use index
.limit(10)
.findAll()
final usersLivingInMunich = isar.users
.filter()
.ageGreaterThan(32)
.or()
.addressMatches('*Munich*', caseSensitive: false) // address containing 'munich' (case insensitive)
.optional(
shouldSort, // only apply if shouldSort == true
(q) => q.sortedByAge(),
)
.findAll()
You can easily define relationships between objects. In Isar database they are called links and backlinks:
@collection
class Teacher {
Id? id;
late String subject;
@Backlink(to: 'teacher')
final students = IsarLinks<Student>();
}
@collection
class Student {
Id? id;
late String name;
final teacher = IsarLink<Teacher>();
}
With Isar database, you can watch collections, objects, or queries. A watcher is notified after a transaction commits successfully and the target actually changes. Watchers can be lazy and not reload the data or they can be non-lazy and fetch new results in the background.
Stream<void> collectionStream = isar.posts.watchLazy;
Stream<List<Post>> queryStream = databasePosts.watch();
queryStream.listen((newResult) {
// do UI updates
})
Benchmarks only give a rough idea of the performance of a database but as you can see, Isar NoSQL database is quite fast 😇
If you are interested in more benchmarks or want to check how Isar performs on your device you can run the benchmarks yourself.
If you want to use Isar database in unit tests or Dart code, call await Isar.initializeIsarCore(download: true)
before using Isar in your tests.
Isar NoSQL database will automatically download the correct binary for your platform. You can also pass a libraries
map to adjust the download location for each platform.
Make sure to use flutter test -j 1
to avoid tests running in parallel. This would break the automatic download.
