Hello I am having an issue where when trying to set the type of a variable mediainfo flutter requires that VideoCompress.compressVideo();
returns a type of Future<MediaInfo>
Syntax Error is as follows A value of type 'Future<MediaInfo>' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'MediaInfo'.
And when using VideoCompress.getMediaInfo(file)
it seems to not return a MediaInfo type as when I try to assign it to a variable it fails to provide the .path
method.
Here is an example of the code.
static Future<MediaInfo> compressVideo(file, context) async{
await VideoCompress.compressVideo(file,
quality: VideoQuality.HighestQuality, deleteOrigin: true);
final info = VideoCompress.getMediaInfo(file);
return info;
Attempt of trying to access .path
click me
that's because compressVideo function doesn't return MediaInfo, it returns Future so you need to await for it.
final info = await VideoCompressApi.compressVideo(filePath, context);
setState((){
compressedInfo = info.path;
});
Edit: you can also use:
VideoCompressApi.compressVideo(filePath, context).then((info) {
setState(() => compressedInfo = info.path);
});
