RealTime Database in Flutter App, basically Database refers to the storage of data in a particular manner that could be accessed in multiple ways.
Similarly, while developing the apps Database plays a major role in synchronizing the data, offline storage, etc.
Nowadays, Firebase provides us with various modules such as Authentication, Performance Analysis.

Steps for Integration-
Step – 1 -> Firstly, add the firebase_database dependency in pubspec.yaml file. To check the updated version for the dependency check here.
|
1 |
firebase_database: ^10.1.0 |
Step -2 -> After adding the dependency, we will need to add the instance of our Firebase Database into the project.
|
1 |
final databaseInstance = FirebaseDatabase.instance.ref(); |
Here inside the FirebaseDatabase.instance.ref(), we will need to add the path of the Database URL.
Now, we will have to create the methods for the CRUD operations within our app.
We have created a database within the Firebase Console, here it is

Conclusion
In this blog, we have discussed how we can integrate the RealTime Database into Flutter App.
I hope it will help you understand and get a brief idea about it.
