I am new to Flutter. I am sending two separate strings from Json to create a table in Flutter:
String one contains Column Titles with ~ separator
"column_titles": "Col Title 1~ColTitle-2~Title3~Column Title 4"
And the other string stores if the value is Numeric or Alpha (can be other formats but for simplicity A or N for the time being)
"column_types": "A~N~N~N"
I am converting the above into separate lists as follows:
var columnTypes = widget.columnTypes
.split('~')
.map((String text) => text)
.toList();
var columnTitles = widget.titles
.split('~')
.map((String text) => DataColumn(
label: Text(text), numeric: true)) // decide true or false based on columnTypes
.toList();
Based on the value of text
in columnTypes
I need to insert true or false for numeric
parameter of DataColumn
in columnTitles
I have searched but couldn't find a good example.
You could use collection for
to build the DataColumn list.
final columnTitles = widget.titles.split('~');
final columnTypes = widget.columnTypes.split('~');
final dataColumns = [
for (var i = 0; i < columnTitles.length; i++)
DataColumn(
label: Text(columnTitles[i]),
numeric: columnTypes[i] == 'N',
),
];
