How to Display Last Updated Data in JSON String Using Flutter

When working on Flutter applications, you might encounter a common need: how to display the last updated data from a JSON string. If you have data that is frequently updated, displaying the most recent information becomes crucial for maintaining accuracy and user engagement. In this post, we will walk through the process of retrieving, parsing, and displaying the last updated data in Flutter.

Understanding the Problem

Let's consider an example where we receive updated lead data in JSON format from an API. You have two JSON strings, one containing initial data and another containing updated values. Your task is to identify the most recent data change and display the specific entry that was last updated.

Here are the two JSON strings we are dealing with:

Initial JSON string:

Updated JSON string:

From these, you want to determine that the last updated entry was for Manish, as his leads count increased from 1 to 2.

Solution Overview

The solution involves the following key steps:

Fetching the data from the API

Decoding the JSON response into a usable format

Identifying the updated entry in the list

Displaying the relevant information

Step 1: Fetching Data from the API

Here's how you can create an API call to fetch the JSON data. We use the http package to make network requests:

Step 2: Decoding the JSON Response

Once you have fetched the data, it is essential to decode the JSON string into a list of maps that Flutter can work with. The method is straightforward as demonstrated in the API call above.

Step 3: Identifying the Updated Entry

After decoding the data, you can leverage Dart's firstWhere method to search for the updated entry. Here’s how you can do it:

This code snippet effectively searches through the list of maps returned from the API and retrieves the entry corresponding to Manish.

Step 4: Displaying the Information

Finally, you can print or display the retrieved data to your user interface. For example, you might want to show the name and leads count as follows:
