Flutter web support

[Padi142]

When trying to acces the databse via Db.create() on Flutter web, I get this error:

Error: MongoDB ConnectionException: Could not connect to monkidatabse-shard-00-00.cxodm.mongodb.net:27017
- Unsupported operation: default SecurityContext getter
    at Object.throw_ [as throw] (http://localhost:58926/dart_sdk.js:5080:11)

It would be very nice to be able to use Mongo db on Flutter web.

Unfotunately it is not so easy to solve this issue. I cannot promise anything.

I just found this and was wondering if there are any updates. @giorgiofran, if you can describe the problem a little bit I could try to help with finding a solution. Thanks

The problem is that web apps cannot use dart:io. I have found a package that seems to make sockets usable also on web apps, but I have to test it and I will do it in the new version of mongo_dart that I'm developing.

Thanks for the update @giorgiofran. Looking forward to seeing that new implementation, it sounds very promising.

The goal is to implement also transactions, but it is a big step forward, and probably it will not be compatible with the present package.

I'm a bit new at this and it's probably a bit of a simple question but I've been able to interact with my database via Atlas and their REST API option at https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/api/ for development. Problem is, risk of API exposure in production. I know it's tricky but if there is a way of obscuring api keys it may be an option.

So my question would be do you think its possible to integrate something like that into the package?

[giorgiofran]

It is possible, the problem is to find the time to develop it. At present I'm updating and renewing the driver, so I have no time to give a look into this, sorry.
