I have a widget that makes a request to an api which returns a map. What I would like to do is not make the same request every time the widget is loaded and save the list to appState.myList
. But. when I do this appState.myList = snapshot.data;
in the FutureBuilder
, I get the following error:
flutter: ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY FOUNDATION LIBRARY ╞════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
flutter: The following assertion was thrown while dispatching notifications for MySchedule:
flutter: setState() or markNeedsBuild() called during build.
flutter: This ChangeNotifierProvider<MySchedule> widget cannot be marked as needing to build because the
flutter: framework is already in the process of building widgets. A widget can be marked as needing to be
flutter: built during the build phase only if one of its ancestors is currently building. ...
sun.dart
file:
class Sun extends StatelessWidget {
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final appState = Provider.of<MySchedule>(context);
var db = PostDB();
Widget listBuild(appState) {
final list = appState.myList;
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: list.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return ListTile(title: Text(list[index].title));
},
);
}
Widget futureBuild(appState) {
return FutureBuilder(
future: db.getPosts(),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.hasData) {
// appState.myList = snapshot.data;
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshot.data.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return ListTile(title: Text(snapshot.data[index].title));
},
);
} else if (snapshot.hasError) {
return Text("${snapshot.error}");
}
return Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
);
},
);
}
return Scaffold(
body: appState.myList != null
? listBuild(appState)
: futureBuild(appState));
}
}
postService.dart
file:
class PostDB {
var isLoading = false;
Future<List<Postmodel>> getPosts() async {
isLoading = true;
final response =
await http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
isLoading = false;
return (json.decode(response.body) as List)
.map((data) => Postmodel.fromJson(data))
.toList();
} else {
throw Exception('Failed to load posts');
}
}
}
I understand that the myList
calls notifyListeners()
and that's what causes the error. Hope I got that right. If so, how do I set appState.myList
and use in the app without getting the above error?
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:myflutter/models/post-model.dart';
class MySchedule with ChangeNotifier {
List<Postmodel> _myList;
List<Postmodel> get myList => _myList;
set myList(List<Postmodel> newValue) {
_myList = newValue;
notifyListeners();
}
}
