This expression has a type of 'void' so its value can't be used on Map

I'm new in flutter.

I'm receiving data from a DB server.

Map<String, double> dataMap = {};
var queryService = client.getQueryService();

var records = await queryService.query(query);
await records.forEach((record) {

  DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
  String formatedDate = dateFormat.format(DateTime.parse('${record['_time']}')); //Converting DateTime object to String

  dataList.add('$formatedDate : ${record['_value']}');
  dataMap[formatedDate] = double.parse('${record['_value']}');
});
print(dataMap);
client.close();

So I need to pass the dataMap data to a function:

dataMap.forEach((key, value) {
                        ChartData (key, value);
                      })

But I'm receiving the 'void' error... Any ideas?

Iterable.forEach does not return anything. It makes no sense to await its result. Map.forEach similarly does not return anything, so you cannot pass its result as an argument to a function. Additionally, your callback does not do anything; ChartData(key, value) by itself constructs a ChartData object but then discards it.

If you want to convert dataMap to a List<ChartData>, you need to iterate over dataMap and build a List:

var chartDataList = dataMap.entries.map(
  (keyValue) => ChartData(keyValue.key, keyValue.value),
).toList();

or use collection-for:

var chartDataList = [
  for (var keyValue in dataMap.entries)
    ChartData(keyValue.key, keyValue.value),
];
