Building a List Using built_value in Flutter: An Easy Guide

Using the built_value package in Flutter allows developers to create immutable data models easily. However, deserializing JSON data into a list using built_value can become tricky, especially for beginners. This guide aims to shed light on how to effectively build a list from JSON data using built_value, addressing a common issue faced by many developers.

The Problem Statement

Let's consider a scenario where you have a JSON array containing several names:

You’re using built_value in your Flutter application and have successfully created a Name data model, but you’re struggling with how to deserialize this JSON array into a list of Name objects represented by a NameResult class.

Common Error

While attempting to implement this, many developers encounter the following error message:

This highlights a challenge when trying to convert your JSON array directly into a list format that built_value can manage.

Solution Overview

To solve this problem effectively, we will follow these steps:

Define the Serializers: Ensure you establish correct serializers for built_value to manage list-type deserialization.

Deserialize the JSON Array: Utilize the serializers to convert your JSON array into a list of Name objects wrapped in a NameResult class.

Step 1: Define Proper Serializers

For built_value to successfully handle lists, you will need to define a custom serializer for BuiltList. Below is an example of setting up the serializers within your serializers.dart file:

Step 2: Deserialize JSON Array

Once your serializers are correctly set up, you can now proceed to deserialize the JSON data like so:

This code snippet will successfully convert your JSON array into a list in the built_value format. Now, you can access the names as Name objects through the NameResult wrapper.

Conclusion

Using the built_value package can enhance the Swift of your Flutter app development, especially when handling JSON data. In this guide, we covered how to deserialize a JSON array into a list of objects effectively, overcoming the typical issues many developers face.

Key Takeaways

Always define custom serializers when dealing with lists in built_value to avoid common errors.

Ensure the correct format of your JSON input matches the expected structure of your models.

With these steps, you're well on your way to effectively using built_value for managing lists in your Flutter applications. Happy coding!
