Do someone know how to add dynamically more rows into the DataTable in Flutter. As you can see my code is very 'hardcoded' [line: 11-31].
There should be a way to get rid of writing more and more DataRows.
Code:
class DataTableWidget extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return DataTable(
columns: [
DataColumn(label: Text('Patch')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Version')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Ready')),
],
rows: <DataRow>[
DataRow(
cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text('AAAAAA')),
DataCell(Text('1')),
DataCell(Text('Yes')),
],
),
DataRow(
cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text('BBBBBB')),
DataCell(Text('2')),
DataCell(Text('No')),
],
),
DataRow(
cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text('CCCCCC')),
DataCell(Text('3')),
DataCell(Text('Yes')),
],
),
],
);
}
}
You can use
listOfColumns.map(((element) => DataRow(...))).toList()
This is your code using this method.
class DataTableWidget extends StatelessWidget {
final List<Map<String, String>> listOfColumns = [
{"Name": "AAAAAA", "Number": "1", "State": "Yes"},
{"Name": "BBBBBB", "Number": "2", "State": "no"},
{"Name": "CCCCCC", "Number": "3", "State": "Yes"}
];
// DataTableWidget(this.listOfColumns); // Getting the data from outside, on initialization
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return DataTable(
columns: [
DataColumn(label: Text('Patch')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Version')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Ready')),
],
rows:
listOfColumns // Loops through dataColumnText, each iteration assigning the value to element
.map(
((element) => DataRow(
cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text(element["Name"])), //Extracting from Map element the value
DataCell(Text(element["Number"])),
DataCell(Text(element["State"])),
],
)),
)
.toList(),
);
}
}
You could do something like this:**
class DataTableWidget extends StatelessWidget {
List results=[] ;
intState((){
super.iniState();
this.getSale();
})
Future<String> getData () async {
var response = await http.get(
"$saleUrl/?format=json",
);
setState(() {
var dataConvertedToJson =
json.decode(utf8.decode(response.bodyBytes));
results = dataConvertedToJson['results'];
});
print('${results.length}');
return "successful";
}
DataRow _getDataRow(result) {
return DataRow(
cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text(data["text1"])),
DataCell(Text(data["text2"])),
DataCell(Text(data["text3"])),
],
);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return DataTable(
columns: [
DataColumn(label: Text('Patch')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Version')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Ready')),
],
rows: List.generate(
results.length, (index) => _getDataRow(results[index])),
);
}
}
The underlying data structure, probably a list, is what you want to worry about changing. UI elements like the table just observe. The setState() function notifies the UI to take a fresh look after you've updated your list.
Here's a working example hacked from a flutter doc example. Click the button to add rows.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Add Rows',
home: MyHomePage(title: 'Add Rows'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
List<DataRow> _rowList = [
DataRow(cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text('AAAAAA')),
DataCell(Text('1')),
DataCell(Text('Yes')),
]),
];
void _addRow() {
// Built in Flutter Method.
setState(() {
// This call to setState tells the Flutter framework that something has
// changed in this State, which causes it to rerun the build method below.
_rowList.add(DataRow(cells: <DataCell>[
DataCell(Text('BBBBBB')),
DataCell(Text('2')),
DataCell(Text('No')),
]));
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: DataTable(columns: [
DataColumn(label: Text('Patch')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Version')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Ready')),
], rows: _rowList),
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton.extended(
onPressed: _addRow,
label: Text('Add Row'),
backgroundColor: Colors.green,
),
);
}
}
This builds for me with
flutter build web
then run with
flutter run -d chrome
