check if value exists inside Json response flutter

Question

I made a Json post request and got a response that looks like this:

[{id: 13, mentor_id: 5, mentee_id: 184, status: null, session_count: 0, current_job: null, email: null, phone_call: null, video_call: null, face_to_face: null, created_at: 2020-02-20 20:37:50, updated_at: 2020-02-20 20:37:50}, {id: 14, mentor_id: 8, mentee_id: 184, status: null, session_count: 0, current_job: null, email: null, phone_call: null, video_call: null, face_to_face: null, created_at: 2020-02-21 22:39:31, updated_at: 2020-02-21 22:39:31}]

Now, I want to check if the id key is equal to a certain number so I could set a button's state. For example:

if(id contains 5){
....
}

How do I achieve that in flutter?

I have seen your json and written some code, just to let you know that i have loaded your json locally.

[
    {
        "id": 13,
        "mentor_id": 5,
        "mentee_id": 184,
        "status": null,
        "session_count": 0,
        "current_job": null,
        "email": null,
        "phone_call": null,
        "video_call": null,
        "face_to_face": null,
        "created_at": "2020- 02 - 20 20: 37: 50",
        "updated_at": "2020- 02 - 20 20: 37: 50"
    },
    {
        "id": 14,
        "mentor_id": 8,
        "mentee_id": 184,
        "status": null,
        "session_count": 0,
        "current_job": null,
        "email": null,
        "phone_call": null,
        "video_call": null,
        "face_to_face": null,
        "created_at": "2020- 02 - 21 22: 39: 31",
        "updated_at": "2020- 02 - 21 22: 39: 31"
    }
]

Above is your JSON file

// To parse this JSON data, do
//
//     final yourDataModel = yourDataModelFromJson(jsonString);

import 'dart:convert';

List<YourDataModel> yourDataModelFromJson(String str) => List<YourDataModel>.from(json.decode(str).map((x) => YourDataModel.fromJson(x)));

String yourDataModelToJson(List<YourDataModel> data) => json.encode(List<dynamic>.from(data.map((x) => x.toJson())));

class YourDataModel {
    int id;
    int mentorId;
    int menteeId;
    dynamic status;
    int sessionCount;
    dynamic currentJob;
    dynamic email;
    dynamic phoneCall;
    dynamic videoCall;
    dynamic faceToFace;
    String createdAt;
    String updatedAt;

    YourDataModel({
        this.id,
        this.mentorId,
        this.menteeId,
        this.status,
        this.sessionCount,
        this.currentJob,
        this.email,
        this.phoneCall,
        this.videoCall,
        this.faceToFace,
        this.createdAt,
        this.updatedAt,
    });

    factory YourDataModel.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => YourDataModel(
        id: json["id"],
        mentorId: json["mentor_id"],
        menteeId: json["mentee_id"],
        status: json["status"],
        sessionCount: json["session_count"],
        currentJob: json["current_job"],
        email: json["email"],
        phoneCall: json["phone_call"],
        videoCall: json["video_call"],
        faceToFace: json["face_to_face"],
        createdAt: json["created_at"],
        updatedAt: json["updated_at"],
    );

    Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "id": id,
        "mentor_id": mentorId,
        "mentee_id": menteeId,
        "status": status,
        "session_count": sessionCount,
        "current_job": currentJob,
        "email": email,
        "phone_call": phoneCall,
        "video_call": videoCall,
        "face_to_face": faceToFace,
        "created_at": createdAt,
        "updated_at": updatedAt,
    };
}

This is the model class i have made for your json

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:sample_project_for_api/model.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  bool _isLoading = false;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    loadYourData();
  }

  Future<String> loadFromAssets() async {
    return await rootBundle.loadString('json/parse.json');
  }

  loadYourData() async {
    String jsonString = await loadFromAssets();
    final yourDataModel = yourDataModelFromJson(jsonString);

    for (int i = 0; i < yourDataModel.length; i++) {
      if (yourDataModel[i].id == 13) {
        print('you got your id');
        // Do your stuff
      }
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(),
    );
  }
}

This is the main file in which the loadYourData method is doing the core parts.

Let me know if it works.

You need to learn more about Maps in the Dart language. Flutter is just a framework for making cross-platform apps, the language behind it and the logic you write is in the Dart language.

//You have a list of data, so first put it in a List variable.
//You need to first convert the list of raw json objects text response into a list of Maps.
List<Map> data = jsonDecode(httpResponse.body);

//Here we loop through the elements of the list
for (Map jsonObject in data) {

   //This is how you get a value from a Map.
   int id = jsonObject["id"];

   if (jsonObject["id"] == 5){
      print("ID is 5.");
   } else {
      print("ID is NOT 5.");
   }

}

Hope this helps!
