Re-explain

Room is an SQLite object mapping library providing an abstraction layer over SQLite. Main components:

  • Entity: Represents a table (@Entity)
  • DAO: Contains database access methods (@Dao)
  • Database: Main access point (@Database)
@Entity
data class User(
    @PrimaryKey val id: Int,
    val name: String
)

@Dao
interface UserDao {
    @Query("SELECT * FROM user")
    suspend fun getAllUsers(): List<User>
}

@Database(entities = [User::class], version = 1)
abstract class AppDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun userDao(): UserDao
}
