How to Use JSON Data in Flutter for HTTP API Requests

In today's digital landscape, accessing and utilizing data from APIs has become a fundamental requirement for developers. However, parsing and displaying this data can often feel like a daunting task, especially for beginners. In this guide, we will explore how you can effectively retrieve and present JSON data from an HTTP API in your Flutter application, specifically focusing on worktime data.

The Problem

You have received a block of JSON data resembling the following structure:

While it may seem challenging, the process of extracting and displaying this information is straightforward when broken down into manageable steps.

The Solution

This section will guide you through the necessary steps required to parse your JSON data and display it in Flutter effectively. We will cover the following areas:

Creating a Data Model

Parsing the JSON Data

Displaying the Data

Using ListView.builder

Using Column with SingleChildScrollView

1. Creating a Data Model

First, we'll need a model class to represent the data we receive from the API. This model will allow us to parse the JSON data easily. Here’s how you can create a simple Worktime class:

This function reads the JSON string, decodes it, and converts it into a list of Worktime objects.

3. Displaying the Data

Now, let's discuss how to display our parsed data within the Flutter UI. It is advisable to handle large datasets using ListView.builder, which is more efficient. For smaller datasets, you can opt for a simple column with scrolling capabilities.

Using ListView.builder

Here’s how you can implement the ListView.builder to display your worktime data:
