Removing empty entry in List<dynamic> that only shows while inspecting

Time:08-15

I have a list that I am getting the values from an API, it is List<dynamic> type, while I print it I am getting this output (for example): [cat, female], but when I use inspect it has three values: "cat", "female", "". The last empty value is making some problems in my code, so I wanted to remove it, but I don't know how to do this. As it is a List<dynamic> I used removeLast() and also toString() but none of them worked for me. I appreciate any help on this.

CodePudding user response:

The solution is to filter items and get the new list:

final newList = list.where((e) => e != null && e != '').toList();

removeLast() does not work as you expected. If you read the comment of the method it says Removes and returns the last object in this list.

PS: I recommend you use a functional way to deal with a list which means do not modify the state of the original list instead, get a new list.
