This error pops up in my app whenever I try to navigate from login page to home page.

Screenshot of the error

Debug console in vs code shows error like this.

═════════════ Exception caught by widgets library ═════════════

The following LateError was thrown building HomePage(dirty, dependencies: [_InheritedTheme, _LocalizationsScope-[GlobalKey#d5a11]], state: _HomePageState#10e51):

LateInitializationError: Field 'items' has not been initialized.

The relevant error-causing widget was
HomePage
lib\main.dart:22
When the exception was thrown, this was the stack

**#0      CatalogModel.items (package:flutter_catalog/models/catalog.dart)

My catalog.dart page

   class CatalogModel {

  // Get Item by position
  Item getByPosition(int pos) => items[pos];
}

class Item {
  final int id;
  final String name;
  final String desc;
  final num price;
  int quantity;

  num get totalPrice => price * quantity;

  Item({

}

class AddMutation extends VxMutation<MyStore> {

  AddMutation(this.item); 
 @override
  perform() {
    store!.cart._itemIds.add(item.id);
    
  }
}
 
 class RemoveMutation extends VxMutation<MyStore> {
  final Item item;

  RemoveMutation(this.item); 
 @override
  perform() {
    store!.cart._itemIds.remove(item.id);
    
  }
}

Please help me this code so that no error as stated above(screenshot) pops up whenever I try to navigate from one page to another. [Also, I tried to fix the error by removing static late , @required keyword but nothing worked and ended up getting more error.Please review the code and help me with the same.]

CodePudding user response：

You are accessing items on loading cases, It will take some time to fetch it.

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final _cart = (VxState.store as MyStore).cart; /// here trying to get on 1st frame

It would be better to use FutureBuilder. Or provide empty list instead of late or make it nullabel.

 static  List<Item> items = [];

Check the FutureBuilder
