I was using http and data was returned successfully, however when I used DIO, it shows me an error when returning data. I guess its because postFromJson takes a string, however it should take a map instead.
here's the error at 'json' "_TypeError (type 'List' is not a subtype of type 'String')"
Future<List<Post>?> getProducts() async {
try {
var response = await Dio().get('https://fakestoreapi.com/products');
var json = response.data;
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
return postFromJson(json);
} else {
throw Exception("Error");
}
} catch (e) {
throw (e);
}
}
This one is in the model file.
List<Post> postFromJson(String str) =>
List<Post>.from(json.decode(str).map((x) => Post.fromJson(x)));
CodePudding user response:
In this case (mostly with dio).. response.data already in JSON format (Map/List), so no need to decode it with json.decode(str)
Do this instead
List<Post> postFromJson(data) => List<Post>.from(data.map((x) => Post.fromJson(x)));
