Description
Hi all,
what is the new way to initialize Hive 4.0.0 for Flutter web?
` final dir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
Hive.defaultDirectory = dir.path;
`
fails because Path_Provider is not available on browsers. There does not seem any other init method. Does anyone know?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported initialization failure in a Flutter Web application using the shown getApplicationDocumentsDirectory and Hive.defaultDirectory calls. Read Hive 4.0.0's initialization guidance and verify what a browser-compatible setup requires; done means Hive initializes successfully in Flutter Web without path_provider.
