Database

Flint supports MySQL and PostgreSQL. Configure your connection in .env, and Flint will auto‑connect on server start (unless you disable it).

# .env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql     # or postgres
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=flint
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=secret
DB_SECURE=false

You can disable auto‑connect and call DB.connect() manually if you need dynamic tenants.

// Disable auto connect
final app = Flint(autoConnectDb: false);

// Manual connect
await DB.connect(database: 'flint');

• DB_CONNECTION — mysql or postgres.

• DB_SECURE — set true for secure MySQL connections.

• Default ports: MySQL 3306, Postgres 5432.
