how can I find duplicate values on a list, Let's say I got a List like this:
List<Map<String, dynamic>> users = [
{ "name": 'John', 'age': 18 },
{ "name": 'Jane', 'age': 21 },
{ "name": 'Mary', 'age': 23 },
{ "name": 'Mary', 'age': 27 },
];
How I can iterate the list to know if there are users with the same name?
A simple way would be this:
void main() {
List<Map<String, dynamic>> users = [
{ "name": 'John', 'age': 18 },
{ "name": 'Jane', 'age': 21 },
{ "name": 'Mary', 'age': 23 },
{ "name": 'Mary', 'age': 27 },
];
List names = []; // List();
users.forEach((u){
if (names.contains(u["name"])) print("duplicate ${u["name"]}");
else names.add(u["name"]);
});
}
Result:
duplicate Mary
