I’m having a problem converting an array property in a firebase database.
Ive got a database in firebase with a collection of "faqs". A couple of propertie of an faq is an array of strings
I attempt to convert the firebase from a map to an object like so:
I get an error of:
The issue relates to the "tags" and "images" property of the model.
Could someone please explain why it fails and how i correct the problem please.
full model class below:
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
class Faq {
String faqId;
String? question;
String? answer;
List<String>? tags;
List<String>? images;
Faq(
{required this.faqId,
this.question,
this.answer,
this.tags,
this.images});
@override
String toString() {
return 'Faq(faqId: $faqId, question: $question, answer: $answer, tags: $tags, images: $images)';
}
factory Faq.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> data) => Faq(
faqId: data['faqId'] as String,
question: data['question'] as String?,
answer: data['answer'] as String?,
tags: data['tags'] as List<String>?,
images: data['images'] as List<String>?,
);
Map<String, dynamic> toMap() => {
'faqId': faqId,
'question': question,
'answer': answer,
'tags': tags,
'images': images,
};
/// `dart:convert`
///
/// Parses the string and returns the resulting Json object as [Faq].
factory Faq.fromJson(String data) {
return Faq.fromMap(json.decode(data) as Map<String, dynamic>);
}
/// `dart:convert`
///
/// Converts [Faq] to a JSON string.
String toJson() => json.encode(toMap());
Faq copyWith({
required String faqId,
String? question,
String? answer,
List<String>? tags,
List<String>? images,
}) {
return Faq(
faqId: faqId,
question: question ?? this.question,
answer: answer ?? this.answer,
tags: tags ?? this.tags,
images: images ?? this.images,
);
}
@override
bool operator ==(Object other) {
if (identical(other, this)) return true;
if (other is! Faq) return false;
final mapEquals = const DeepCollectionEquality().equals;
return mapEquals(other.toMap(), toMap());
}
@override
int get hashCode =>
faqId.hashCode ^
question.hashCode ^
answer.hashCode ^
tags.hashCode ^
images.hashCode;
}

try this instead in the
tags
in yourfromMap()
:so the new method will be:.
Try this when you are parsing your response:
