I'm using rdlx with json provider data to dataset
I have a class
Class A
{
string ID,
List<B> lstB
}
Class B
{
string C,
string D
}
I want display all C property inside lstB, how to do this?
Thanks

I have a function Future<T?> getDocById<T>(String id) aysnc {}, it gets the data from web and return the value with type T. How can I convert any incoming data from web to a given type?
use case - class User{ String name; User(this.name);}
now, await getDocById<User>() how can I convert the data to type User inside getDocById function? in another case - getDocById<Boo> it should get data from web and convert it to Boo and return
Since I just answered a similar question I am copying the code into here. However, if you have an unknown T incoming, you need to distinguish cases based on what is incoming. Without this you want be able to convert a bool or int into a String name.
Create a method in one of the classes
class A {
A(this.a);
final int a;
B toB() {
return B(
b: a,
}
}
class B {
B(this.b);
final int b;
}
To be used like final bInstance = aInstance.toB(); meaning you declared somewhere aInstance = A(1);
class ExampleClass {
//default constructor
ExampleClass() {
//do stuff
}
//named constructor
ExampleClass.namedConstructor() {
//do stuff
}
}
void main() {
//is there a way to create a variable with datatype to store an object that is constructed only with a specific constructor?
//I have tried something like this, but it returns an error
ExampleClass.namedConstructor variable_1;
}
Is there any way to do this or an alternative? because I need to be able to differentiate between an object that is constructed with the default constructor or with a named constructor.
You can add some identification to classes builded with different constructors and compare entities by unique parameters.
If instances of your classes creating once (Singleton design pattern), you can create entities as constants and compare it by reference:
const administrator = User.administrator();
class User {
final int id;
User(this.id);
factory User.administrator() {
return User(0);
}
factory User.administrator(int id) {
return User(id);
}
}
I have multiple class like this:-
Class A {
static int xyz = 10;
int c;
int d;
static A getData() {
// Do something
return A()..c = xyz*5;
}
Class B {
static int abc = 10;
int c;
static B getData() {
// Do something
return B()..c = xyz*5;
}
So, here you can see that the the getData() is doing the same thing, but have different return types.
Is there any way to avoid duplicate implementation like this, can it be done by defining a single function which can reference the class and have multiple return type?
This has two parts: creating the object, and assigning to a field of the object.
Creating the object, you are mostly out of luck. The only way to create an object of a specific type in a generic method is by using reflection via dart:mirrors. However, you have indicated that this is for a Flutter project, and Flutter doesn't support reflection, so that isn't an option. The only way you are going to be able to dynamically create an object is to pass in a factory method that the generic method can call to construct the object.
Assigning to a field of the object is easier, but it requires that you either lose static type checking by using dynamic or by tying your classes together with inheritance. The latter is the preferable choice, but if you are working with a library than it isn't always an option.
Combining these two things, the code will look like this:
class Foo {
static int xyz = 10;
int c;
}
class A extends Foo {
int d;
static A getData() {
return modifyObject(() => A());
}
}
class B extends Foo {
static B getData() {
return modifyObject(() => B());
}
}
T modifyObject<T extends Foo>(T create()) {
return create()..c = Foo.xyz * 5;
}
Before doing this, though, I'd take a look at whether your project actually needs it. If your use case is as simple as your example, I would argue that this level of generalization is overkill and you are hurting your code's readability more than you are helping its modularity.
I have an abstract class Model with a static attribute and another generic class Controller<T extends Model>. I want to access the static attribute of Model in an instance of Controller. That should like this:
abstract class Model{
static hasStatus: boolean = false;
}
class MyModel extends Model{
static hasStatus = true;
}
class Controller<T extends Model>{
constructor(){
if(T.hasStatus)...
}
}
But TS says 'T' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.
Is there an easy way to achieve this? Or should i subclass Controller for each Heritage of Model and implement a method to retrieve the value?
There is no way to do that in typescript. Generic type parameters can only appear where types may appear in declarations, they are not accessible at runtime. The reason for that is simple - single javascript function is generated for each method of the generic class, and there is no way for that function to know which actual type was passed as generic type parameter.
If you need that information at runtime, you have to add a parameter to the constructor and pass a type yourself when calling it:
class Controller<T extends Model>{
constructor(cls: typeof Model){
if (cls.hasStatus) {
}
}
}
let c = new Controller<MyModel>(MyModel);
Here is how it looks when compiled to javascript to illustrate the point - there is nothing left of generic parameters there, and if you remove cls parameter there is no information about where hasStatus should come from.
var Controller = (function () {
function Controller(cls) {
if (cls.hasStatus) {
}
}
return Controller;
}());
var c = new Controller(MyModel);
This question is about Dart language.
I want to have a class which is just a List but with some extra functionality.
For example I have a class named Model:
class Model{
String name;
int type;
Model(this.name, this.type);
}
I know that Model's type could take only four values: from 0 to 3.
And I want to have a method, which can give me a List of Models of specified type, e.g. List<Model> modelCollection.getByType(int type);.
I plan to to have four 'hidden' Lists of the Models (grouped by type) in that class.
Thus I need to override addition and removal of List elements to make that hidden lists being up to date.
How can I realize this as easy as possible?
P.S. I know this is quite simple, but I'm poorly familiar with Object inheritance and can't find proper examples.
P.P.S. I've also checked this but don't know is it outdated or not and didn't catch the idea.
To make a class implement List there are several ways :
Extending ListBase and implementing length, operator[], operator[]= and length= :
import 'dart:collection';
class MyCustomList<E> extends ListBase<E> {
final List<E> l = [];
MyCustomList();
void set length(int newLength) { l.length = newLength; }
int get length => l.length;
E operator [](int index) => l[index];
void operator []=(int index, E value) { l[index] = value; }
// your custom methods
}
Mixin ListMixin and implementing length, operator[], operator[]= and length= :
import 'dart:collection';
class MyCustomList<E> extends Base with ListMixin<E> {
final List<E> l = [];
MyCustomList();
void set length(int newLength) { l.length = newLength; }
int get length => l.length;
E operator [](int index) => l[index];
void operator []=(int index, E value) { l[index] = value; }
// your custom methods
}
Delegating to an other List with DelegatingList from the quiver package:
import 'package:quiver/collection.dart';
class MyCustomList<E> extends DelegatingList<E> {
final List<E> _l = [];
List<E> get delegate => _l;
// your custom methods
}
Depending on your code each of those options have their advantages. If you wrap/delegate an existing list you should use the last option. Otherwise use one of the two first options depending on your type hierarchy (mixin allowing to extend an other Object).
A basic approach is to extend an Object with IterableMixin. It also seems that you don't even need to override the "length" getter or let's say all methods that the IterableMixin already provides.
import 'dart:collection';
class Model {
String name;
int type;
Model(this.name, this.type) {
}
}
class ModelCollection extends Object with IterableMixin {
List<Model> _models;
Iterator get iterator => _models.iterator;
ModelCollection() {
this._models = new List<Model>();
}
//get one or the first type
Model elementByType(int type) {
for (Model model in _models) {
if (model.type == type) {
return model;
}
}
}
//get all of the same type
List<Model> elementsByType(int type) {
List<Model> newModel = new List<Model>();
for (Model model in _models) {
if (model.type == type) {
newModel.add(model);
}
}
return newModel;
}
add(Model model) {
this._models.add(model);
}
}
Excuse my strong static typing.
You might be interested in quiver.dart's Multimap. It behaves like a Map that allows multiple values per key.
Here's the code on github: https://github.com/google/quiver-dart/blob/master/lib/src/collection/multimap.dart#L20
It's on pub simply as quiver. We'll be hosting the dartdocs somewhere soon.
