_TypeError (type '_InternalLinkedHashMap<String, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type-CodePudding

I am trying to follow a tutorial on making a data model, implement a GET request and display my data. The api I am trying to hit starts with an object containing key value pairs. The tutorial api does not. I need to know how to do it the way I am trying as a lot of the api's I have encountered are structured that way. Here is the error I am getting.

Here is the code for my GET request:

import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/models/job_list_model.dart';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/utils/app_constants.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

class ApiService {
  Future<List<JobList>> getAllJobs() async {
    final allJobsUrl =
        Uri.parse(AppConstants.BASE_URL   AppConstants.JOB_LIST_URI);
    final response = await http.get(allJobsUrl);
    List<JobList> allJobs = [];
    List body = json.decode(response.body);
    body.forEach((job) {
      allJobs.add(JobList.fromJson(job));
    });
    print(response.statusCode);
    print(response.body);
    return allJobs;
  }
 }

Here is the code for my model file:

import 'dart:convert';

JobList jobListFromJson(String str) => JobList.fromJson(json.decode(str));

String jobListToJson(JobList data) => json.encode(data.toJson());

class JobList {
    JobList({
        required this.results,
    });

    List<Result> results;

    factory JobList.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => JobList(
        results: List<Result>.from(json["Results"].map((x) => Result.fromJson(x))),
    );

    Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "Results": List<dynamic>.from(results.map((x) => x.toJson())),
    };
}

class Result {
    Result({
        required this.id,
        required this.icon,
        required this.name,
        required this.url,
    });

    int id;
    String icon;
    String name;
    String url;

    factory Result.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Result(
        id: json["ID"],
        icon: json["Icon"],
        name: json["Name"],
        url: json["Url"],
    );

    Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "ID": id,
        "Icon": icon,
        "Name": name,
        "Url": url,
    };
}

CodePudding user response：

json.decode() returns a Map<String, dynamic> instance not a List. The server you're sending the request to probably sends back a JSON which needs to be decoded into Map<String, dynamic> to be used in your mobile application.

Edit :

The URL you've provided returns this response :

So the client should decode the response, and extract the data you need from the Results key

import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/models/job_list_model.dart';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/utils/app_constants.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

class ApiService {
  Future<List<JobList>> getAllJobs() async {
    final allJobsUrl =
        Uri.parse(AppConstants.BASE_URL   AppConstants.JOB_LIST_URI);
    final response = await http.get(allJobsUrl);
    List<JobList> allJobs = [];
    Map<String, dynamic> body = json.decode(response.body);
    body['Results'].forEach((job) {
      allJobs.add(JobList.fromJson(job));
    });
    print(response.statusCode);
    print(response.body);
    return allJobs;
  }
 }

CodePudding user response：

You cannot return jsonDecode() as Map<String, dynamic> inside a dynamic list. Try changing your dynamic list as List<Map<String, dynamic>>

import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/models/job_list_model.dart';
import 'package:ffxiv_job_viewer/utils/app_constants.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

class ApiService {
  Future<List<JobList>> getAllJobs() async {
    final allJobsUrl =
        Uri.parse(AppConstants.BASE_URL   AppConstants.JOB_LIST_URI);
    final response = await http.get(allJobsUrl);
    List<JobList> allJobs = [];
    Map<String, dynamic> body = json.decode(response.body); // Make a change here.
    body['Results'].forEach((job) {
      allJobs.add(JobList.fromJson(job));
    });
    print(response.statusCode);
    print(response.body);
    return allJobs;
  }
 }
