In flutter, NavigationRail.destinations[0].label.toString() returns 'Text{"Text")' instead of "Text"

I use NavigationRail & NavigationBar in my project. When I try to read the label of one of the destinations attached to NavigationRail, I get Text("Text") instead of "Text".

Here is an example code:

onDestinationSelected: (value) {
  context.goNamed(destinations[value].label.toString()); // output is "Text("Text")"
},

Is this an issue?

I tried same logic on NavigationBar and it works fine.

destinations[value].label.toString(); // Output is "Text"
Solution

  • You need to cast the label as a Text widget before accessing its data.
    Here's how you can do it:

    onDestinationSelected: (value) {
  context.goNamed((destinations[value].label as Text).data!);
}

    The label property is a Text widget, not a String, so casting it first allows you to access the text content.
