This is the JSON Response I'm getting. I want to Parse the text which says "url" (With. I want to Get this Text)

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "attributes": {
              "Title": "My Story",
              "Story": "My story is about my life",
              "Image": {
                "data": {
                 "id": 1,
                   "attributes": {
                      "name": "lifeImage.jpeg",
                        "alternativeText": "lifeImage.jpeg",
                         "caption": "lifeImage.jpeg",
                         "url": "/uploads/lifeImage_0e9293ee8d.jpeg", <-- I want to Get this Text
                            "previewUrl": null,
                            "provider": "local"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "meta": {
        "pagination": {
            "page": 1,
            "pageSize": 25,
            "pageCount": 1,
            "total": 3
        }
    }
}

I easily parsed the Title, Story with the Below Dart File. But I'm not sure how can I parse the URL text (One with arrow marks says "<-- I want to Get this Text"). Since it's nested one I don't know how to do that. Please help me with this. Thanks

CodePudding user response：

You can simply parse them like this:

final url = json['image']?['data']?['attributes']?['url'];

here we're using question marks (?) in between, because we're not sure that each element is not null, for example, the data under image may be null, so by using question marks, we're staying safe from null exceptions.

CodePudding user response：

I took @Adnan approach and modified it little.

final ImageURL = json['Image']?['data']?['attributes']?['url'] ?? ''

Thanks to GitHub Co-Pilot.

CodePudding user response：

I suggest using this website to generate dart or any other language object from json. you just need to covert it to null safety.

here a example:

class AnswerResponse {
  AnswerResponse({
    required this.id,
    required this.description,
    required this.isAccepted,
    required this.isMine,
    required this.media,
    required this.caseId,
    required this.voteUp,
    required this.voteDown,
    required this.votes,
    required this.user,
    required this.comment,
    required this.createdAt,
  });

  factory AnswerResponse.fromJson(final String str) => AnswerResponse.fromMap(json.decode(str));

  factory AnswerResponse.fromMap(final Map<String, dynamic> json) => AnswerResponse(
    id: json["id"],
    description: json["description"],
    isAccepted: json["isAccepted"],
    isMine: json["isMine"],
    media: json["media"] == null ? null : List<MediaResponse>.from(json["media"].map((final dynamic x) => MediaResponse.fromMap(x))),
    caseId: json["caseId"],
    voteUp: json["voteUp"],
    voteDown: json["voteDown"],
    votes: json["votes"],
    user: json["user"] == null ? null : ProfileResponse.fromMap(json["user"]),
    comment: json["comment"] == null ? null : List<CommentResponse>.from(json["comment"].map((final dynamic x) => CommentResponse.fromMap(x))),
    createdAt: json["createdAt"],
  );

  final int? id;
  final int? caseId;
  final int? votes;
  final bool? isAccepted;
  final bool? isMine;
  final bool? voteUp;
  final bool? voteDown;
  final String? description;
  final String? createdAt;
  final ProfileResponse? user;
  final List<MediaResponse>? media;
  final List<CommentResponse>? comment;
}

and to convert json string to dart object:

var data = AnswerResponse.fromMap(jsonString)
