Find closest date to today from API results - flutter

Question

I've come across a problem which I cannot figure out. I'm trying to display single event on my home screen which is next upcoming by date. That event comes from list of events in the api.
Currently I am using listview.builder to display those events however when I set item count to 1 I cannot get the next event by date to be displayed. I was trying to display all events in listview.builder and then filter but I couldn't get it to work.
I need to display events in that order but they need to be shown 1 by 1 based on todays time. So when current time is the same as the events time next event will be shown:
firstImage
And this is what I'm getting when the itemCount is 1. This is the last event from the list
which I tried to reverse but no success. secondImage
This is code for the ListView.builder
ListView.builder(
reverse: true,
shrinkWrap: true,
physics: ClampingScrollPhysics(),
// itemCount: 1,
itemCount: 1,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
var x = eventController.event.value!.data![index];
DateTime formattedStartDate = new DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm')
.parse(eventController
.event.value!.data![index].eventStartDate
.toString());
DateTime splitStartDate = new DateTime(
formattedStartDate.year,
formattedStartDate.month,
formattedStartDate.day,
formattedStartDate.hour,
formattedStartDate.minute);
DateTime today = DateTime.now();
bool isAfter = splitStartDate.isAfter(today);
return Column(
children: [
isAfter == true
? GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => EventDetails(
event: eventController
.event.value!.data![index])));
},
child: EventTileMain(
eventController.event.value!.data![index]))
: Container()
],
);
});
This is model calss of event:
// To parse this JSON data, do
//
// final event = eventFromJson(jsonString);
import 'dart:convert';
Event eventFromJson(String str) => Event.fromJson(json.decode(str));
String eventToJson(Event data) => json.encode(data.toJson());

Event({
this.success,
this.data,
this.code,
this.count,

success: json["success"],
data: List<Datum>.from(json["data"].map((x) => Datum.fromJson(x))),

count: json["count"],
);

}
API call
class EventApi {
static var client = http.Client();
static Future<Event?> fetchEvents() async {
final response = await client.get(Uri.parse(
'https://xposure.ae/api/v1/events/'));
// 'https://xposure.ae/wp-json/wp/auditorium/v1/events'));
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
var jsonString = response.body;
return eventFromJson(jsonString);
} else {
return null;
}
}
}

Answer 1

you can try this:
ListView.builder(
reverse: true,
shrinkWrap: true,
physics: ClampingScrollPhysics(),
// itemCount: 1,
itemCount: 1,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
var now = DateTime.now();
Datum? closestEvent;
eventController.event.value!.data!.forEach((element) {
var elementDate =
DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm').parse(element.eventStartDate);
if (closestEvent == null) {
if (elementDate.isAfter(now)) {
closestEvent = element;
}
} else {
var closestDate = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm').parse(closestEvent!.eventStartDate);
if (elementDate.isAfter(now) && elementDate.isBefore(closestDate)) {
closestEvent = element;
}
}
});
return Column(
children: [
isAfter == true
? GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => EventDetails(
event: closestEvent)));
},
child: EventTileMain(
closestEvent))
: Container()
],
);
});
you can simply make a widget function and remove your listview, like this:
Widget buildEventWidget(BuildContext context){
var now = DateTime.now();
Datum? closestEvent;
eventController.event.value!.data!.forEach((element) {
var elementDate =
DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm').parse(element.eventStartDate);
if (closestEvent == null) {
if (elementDate.isAfter(now)) {
closestEvent = element;
}
} else {
var closestDate = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm').parse(closestEvent!.eventStartDate);
if (elementDate.isAfter(now) && elementDate.isBefore(closestDate)) {
closestEvent = element;
}
}
});
return Column(
children: [
isAfter == true
? GestureDetector(
onTap: () {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => EventDetails(
event: closestEvent)));
},
child: EventTileMain(
closestEvent))
: Container()
],
);
}
