I really, don't even know how to frame question for this problem

So, here's the thing, I have class something like this with 81 Strings:

class Dinner{
      static String drinks = "Coctail";
      static String food1 = "pizza";
      static String food2 = "Meat Ball";
      static String desserts = "Cake";
                 ..
                 ..
                 ..
                 ..
                 ..
                 [81 Strings]
 }

User Selects one item from the drop down, this dropdown has all the above Strings like drinks,food1,food2,desserts

Now, I need to add this selected items values to the database, eg. if user selects "drinks" then i need to add "cocktail", to the database.

My DB post call looks something Like this:

await http.post(
    body: jsonEncode({
         "item": Dinner.drinks,
         })
          );

here in, "Dinner.drinks", drinks will change dynamically, because if user selects food1, then it be taken as "Dinner.food1"

Is these a way to insert data dynamically according the selection from dropdown?

It seems like your problem can be solved by rethinking the data structure. I don't know the full use case of this but it seems to be a case where a Map<String, String> would fit (maybe combined with an enum as key).

Another good thing about Map is that it is a lot easier to iterate over all the key-value pairs with e.g. yourMap.entries.
