Access Data from API in flutter - flutter

Question

I want to access data from the API below.
"https://api.categen.com/api.php/recent_activity/1"
and Want to print in text.
Please help me.
Moreover, there is 3 classes
Home . dart file.
DataService . dart file.
Model . dart file
I tried below code.
Home.dart .
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:categen_api_test/data_service.dart';
import 'package:categen_api_test/model.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_HomePageState createState() => _HomePageState();
}
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
final _dataService = DataService();
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Categen API"),
),
body: Center(
child: ElevatedButton(
child: Text("Click me"),
onPressed: () {
_getlist();
},
),
),
);
}
void _getlist() async {
final response = await _dataService.getData();
print(response.name);
}
}
DataService
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:categen_api_test/model.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
class DataService {
Future<ModelData> getData() async {
final String url = "https://api.categen.com/api.php/recent_activity/1";
final uri = Uri.https('api.categen.com', '/api.php/recent_activity/1');
final response = await http.get(uri);
print(response.body);
final json = jsonDecode(response.body);
return ModelData.fromJson(json);
}
}

Answer 1

First create a model like this:
class Model {
final String name;
final String location;
final String action_value;
final String item;
Model(this.name, this.location, this.action_value, this.item);
List<Model> getList(json) {
List<Model> tempList = []
json['records'].forEach((model)=> tempList.add(
Model(
model["name"],
model["location"],
model["action_value"],
model["item"]
)
)
);
return tempList;
}
}
Then create a function to fetch the data:
Future<List<Model>> fetchData() async {
final response = await http.get('https://api.categen.com/api.php/recent_activity/1');
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
return Model.getList(response.body);
} else {
throw Exception('Unable to fetch products from the REST API');
}
}
call the fetch data function in the init state of the HomePage Widget
late Future<List<Model>> futureData;
void initState() {
super.initState();
futureData = fetchData();
}
what is left to do now is to get your data using a FutureBuilder Widget.
and display the list of your data
FutureBuilder<Model>(
future: futureData,
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
return Column(
children: snaphot.map((e)=>Text(e.name)).toList()
);
} else if (snapshot.hasError) {
return Text('${snapshot.error}');
}
return const CircularProgressIndicator();
},
)
if you want to reload the data on the click of a button, then call the fetch data whenever the button is clicked and then rebuild state of the Homepage widget like shown below
onPressed: (){
setState(
(){
futureData = fetchData();
}
);
}

Answer 2

Try below code hope its helpful to you. If you get data from API refer my answer here or here or here hope it's helpful to you
Create your home widget:
Center(
child: ElevatedButton(
child: Text('Pressed Me'),
onPressed: () => Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => Jobs(),
),
),
),
),
Create your List Widget.
Your API Call function:
Future<List<dynamic>> getJobsData() async {
String url = 'https://api.categen.com/api.php/recent_activity/1';
var response = await http.get(Uri.parse(url), headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
});
return json.decode(response.body)['records'];
}
Your Widget:
Column(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Center(
child: FutureBuilder<List<dynamic>>(
future: getJobsData(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
return Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data!.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
var name = snapshot.data![index]['name'];
var location = snapshot.data![index]['location'];
var item = snapshot.data![index]['item'];
var action = snapshot.data![index]['action_value'];
var date = snapshot.data![index]['created_timestamp'];
return Card(
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
side: BorderSide(color: Colors.green.shade300),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0),
),
child: ListTile(
leading: Text(
action.toString(),
),
title: Text(name),
subtitle: Text(
location + '\n' + date,
),
trailing: Text(item),
),
);
},
),
);
}
return CircularProgressIndicator();
},
),
),
),
],
),
Your all class:
class Jobs extends StatelessWidget {
Future<List<dynamic>> getJobsData() async {
String url = 'https://api.categen.com/api.php/recent_activity/1';
var response = await http.get(Uri.parse(url), headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
});
return json.decode(response.body)['records'];
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Jobs'),
),
body: Column(
children: [
Expanded(
child: Center(
child: FutureBuilder<List<dynamic>>(
future: getJobsData(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
return Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data!.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
var name = snapshot.data![index]['name'];
var location = snapshot.data![index]['location'];
var item = snapshot.data![index]['item'];
var action = snapshot.data![index]['action_value'];
var date = snapshot.data![index]['created_timestamp'];
return Card(
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
side: BorderSide(color: Colors.green.shade300),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0),
),
child: ListTile(
leading: Text(
action.toString(),
),
title: Text(name),
subtitle: Text(
location + '\n' + date,
),
trailing: Text(item),
),
);
},
),
);
}
return CircularProgressIndicator();
},
),
),
),
],
),
);
}
}
Your Home widget output screen->
Your List Widget output screen->
