I have seen lot of examples from parsing the json file from the assets

But How do I get the get the json file from file manager and parse it?

void openJsonFile() async {
    FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles();
    if (result != null) {
      File file = File(result.files.single.path!);
      if (file.path.contains('.json')) {
        parse(file);
      }
    } else {
      // User canceled the picker
    }
  }

  void parse(File file) async {
    final String response = await rootBundle.loadString(file.path);
    List<JsonItem> items = (jsonDecode(response) as List<dynamic>)
        .map((e) => JsonItem.fromJson(e))
        .toList();
    Navigator.of(dkey.currentState!.context).push(
      MaterialPageRoute(
          builder: (context) => JsonParsedListScreen(items: items)),
    );
  }


class JsonItem {
  int? id;
  String? name;

  JsonItem({this.id, this.name});

  factory JsonItem.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return JsonItem(name: json['name'], id: json['id']);
  }
}

I get this log for this line final String response = await rootBundle.loadString(file.path);

CodePudding user response：

This is for loading from assets,

final String response = await rootBundle.loadString(file.path);

but reading from a file is something like this:

final response = await file.readAsString();
