Append value of type List to a map - flutter

Question

I have a class of type Produit

String? nom;
double? prix;
int? quantite;
Produit({this.nom, this.prix, this.quantite});
}
I have a List of type Produit
List<Produit> listeProduits = [
.
.
.
]
and i have this map
Map<int, List<Produit>> listePanier = {};
I'm trying to append a new value of type Produit to this map each time a button is pressed .

You can do something like this using the update method on Map to make so we handle situations where the key are already in the list (where we then want to append to the existing list) and where the key is missing (where we then want to create a new list with out element):
void main() {
final Map<int, List<String>> myMap = {
1: ['String1', 'String2']
};
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2]}
String newValueToList = 'NewString3';
// Example of what happens in case the key already exist
myMap.update(1, (list) => list..add(newValueToList),
ifAbsent: () => [newValueToList]);
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2, NewString3]}
newValueToList = 'NewString4';
// Example of what happens if the key does not already exist. In this case
// we create a new list with the new item
myMap.update(2, (list) => list..add(newValueToList),
ifAbsent: () => [newValueToList]);
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2, NewString3], 2: [NewString4]}
}
We can also create an extension to help us doing this:
void main() {
final Map<int, List<String>> myMap = {
1: ['String1', 'String2']
};
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2]}
myMap.appendToList(1, 'NewString3');
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2, NewString3]}
myMap.appendToList(2, 'NewString4');
print(myMap);
// {1: [String1, String2, NewString3], 2: [NewString4]}
}
extension AppendToListOnMapWithListsExtension<K, V> on Map<K, List<V>> {
void appendToList(K key, V value) =>
update(key, (list) => list..add(value), ifAbsent: () => [value]);
}
