I want to sort a list of Objects by an enum variable in the object in Dart?
for Example:
class Task {
final String name;
final Priority priority;
}
enum Priority {
first,
second,
third
}
List<Task> tasks; // <-- how to sort this list by its [Priority]?
Try this:
class Task {
final String name;
final Priority priority;
Task(this.name, this.priority);
@override toString() => "Task($name, $priority)";
}
enum Priority {
first,
second,
third
}
extension on Priority {
int compareTo(Priority other) =>this.index.compareTo(other.index);
}
List<Task> tasks = [
Task('zort', Priority.second),
Task('foo', Priority.first),
Task('bar', Priority.third),
];
main() {
tasks.sort((a, b) => a.priority.compareTo(b.priority));
print(tasks);
}
It assumes your enum is declared in the correct order for sorting.
