Here are the options for storing data persistently in Flutter, with reference links:
- Shared Preferences: This is a lightweight solution for storing simple data in key-value pairs. It is suitable for storing small amounts of data that need to be persisted between app launches. Reference: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/services/SharedPreferences-class.html
- SQLite: This is a powerful and flexible database solution that can be used to store structured data in a private database on the device. Reference: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/persistence/sqlite
- File Storage: This option allows you to store files on the device. You can use this to store text files, images, videos, and other types of files. Reference: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/persistence/reading-writing-files
- Cloud Storage: If you need to store data in the cloud, you can use a cloud storage service such as Google Cloud Storage or Amazon S3. This is useful if you want to store data that needs to be shared across devices or accessed by multiple users. Reference: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/ui/assets-and-images#network-images
Each of these options has its own pros and cons, and the best choice will depend on your specific needs.
