Removing Duplicate Elements in a Dart Class List

When working with lists of objects in Dart, a common challenge is removing duplicates based on specific attributes. For example, if you have a list of categories, you might want to ensure that no two categories share the same category number. In this guide, we will explore a straightforward solution to this problem using the Dart programming language.

Understanding the Problem

Let’s say you have a class CategoriesContent defined as follows:

You also have a list of CategoriesContent objects:

Your goal is to remove any elements in categoryList where the categoryNumber is duplicated. Although one might consider using .toSet().toList() to filter out duplicates, this approach won't work in your scenario because you need to check a specific attribute within each object, not just the objects themselves.

Step-by-Step Solution

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how you can effectively remove duplicates based on the categoryNumber property:

Step 1: Gather Unique Category Numbers

First, you need to collect all unique category numbers from your list. You can use the map function to extract the category numbers and then convert them to a Set to ensure they are unique:

Step 2: Retain Unique Elements

Next, you will retain only the elements that correspond to the unique category numbers. You'll use the retainWhere method to iterate through categoryList and remove any elements whose category numbers are no longer in the categoryNumbers set:

This line of code does two things:

It checks if the current element’s categoryNumber is still present in the categoryNumbers Set.

If it is, that element remains in categoryList and gets removed from categoryNumbers, ensuring duplicates get filtered out.

Putting It All Together

Here’s how your complete code might look to remove elements with the same categoryNumber:

Conclusion

Removing elements with the same parameter in a Dart class list can be efficiently achieved by leveraging sets and list methods. By following the two-step process outlined above, you can ensure that your list maintains only unique elements based on the specified attributes. This approach not only improves performance by reducing redundancy but also keeps your data clean and well-structured.
