How to add try/catch to Future<void> in flutter

I am trying to debug the save function below. I tried to add a try/catch but in the catch I don't know how to return a null for a Future.

As I step through the code I get to the .doc(currentCleintId) and it exits. The currentClientid is the correct value so I don't know why it would fail.

  Future<void> saveClient(client, String currentClientid) {
    return _db.collection('client').doc(currentClientid).set(client);
  }

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Does this work for you?

     Future<void> saveClient(client, String currentClientid) async {
    try {
      await _db.collection('client').doc(currentClientid).set(client);
    } catch(e){
       print(e.toString();
    }
 }
