Getting image from another function

I do have two functions and these are selectFile() and uploadProduct(). The selectFile contains the Image_Picker and Image_Cropper. and now I need to get the path and file from selectFile in my uploadProduct() to upload it on my Firebase Storage and Store the URL in my firestore and I do not know how to pass on it.

PlatformFile? pickedFile;
  UploadTask? uploadTask;
  String imagePath = "";

Future selectFile() async {
    try {
      final image = await ImagePicker().pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
      if (image != null) {
        final croppedImage = await ImageCropper().cropImage(
          sourcePath: image!.path,
          aspectRatio: const CropAspectRatio(ratioX: 1, ratioY: 1),
          compressQuality: 100,
          maxWidth: 450,
          maxHeight: 450,
          compressFormat: ImageCompressFormat.jpg,
          aspectRatioPresets: [CropAspectRatioPreset.square],
        );
        setState(() {
          imagePath = croppedImage!.path;
        });
      }
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      print(e);
      Navigator.of(context).pop();
    }
  }

Future uploadProduct() async {
    // i should be passing here the path
    final path = 'products/${pickedFile!.name}';
    // I should be passing here the file
    final file = File(croppedImage!.path);

    final ref = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child(path);
    uploadTask = ref.putFile(file);

    final snapshot = await uploadTask!.whenComplete(() {});

    final urlDownload = await snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
    var url = urlDownload.toString();
    // I haven't started the storing of the url to firestore since i can't upload the file on firestore storage.
    print(url);
    return url;
  }

CodePudding user response：

Since you already have imagePath in the class, I suppose, you can try this:

Future uploadProduct() async {
    final path = 'products/${imagePath.split("/").last}';

    final file = File(imagePath);

    final ref = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child(path);
    uploadTask = ref.putFile(file);

    final snapshot = await uploadTask!.whenComplete(() {});

    final urlDownload = await snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL();
    var url = urlDownload.toString();
    print(url);
    return url;
  }

split and .last explanation

So if imageData is something like app/name/image.jpg

Calling split("/") on imageData would give a list like:

['app', 'name', 'image.jpg']

You can see it as "separate by"

Then, .last picks the last item in the list.
