Initializing databse ASAP

[Abbos27]

I want to initialize my database as soon as possible, not lazily. Can I directly call NativeDatabase.createInBackground(file) and pass it to the super constructor of GeneratedDatabase?

NativeDatabase.createInBackground also uses another LazyDatabase internally - it has to because it needs to spawn an isolate and setup a communication channel with it to actually use the database. The most reliable way to initialize the database right away is to use it, e.g. like this:

Future<YourDatabaseClass> loadInitializedDatabase() async {
  final database = YourDatabaseClass(LazyDatabase(...));
  await database.customSelect('SELECT 1').get(); // run a statement, forcing the database to be initialized
  return database;
}
