Resources: #

On this page you can find some of the extensions. Take a look at the docs to see all of them.

Getting started ๐ŸŽ‰ #

Add the following to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  dartx:

After you import the library, you can use the extensions.

import 'package:dartx/dartx.dart';

var slice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].slice(1, -2); // [2, 3, 4]

Iterable #

.slice() #

Returns elements at indices between start (inclusive) and end (inclusive).

var list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var last = list.slice(-1); // [5]
var lastHalf = list.slice(3); // [3, 4, 5]
var allButFirstAndLast = list.slice(1, -2); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

.sortedBy() & .thenBy() #

Sort lists by multiple properties.

var dogs = [
  Dog(name: "Tom", age: 3),
  Dog(name: "Charlie", age: 7),
  Dog(name: "Bark", age: 1),
  Dog(name: "Cookie", age: 4),
  Dog(name: "Charlie", age: 2),
];

var sorted = dogs
    .sortedBy((dog) => dog.name)
    .thenByDescending((dog) => dog.age);
// Bark, Cookie, Charlie (7), Charlie (2), Tom

.distinctBy() #

Get distinct elements from a list.

var list = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'test'];
var distinctByLength = list.distinctBy((it) => it.length); // ['this', 'is', 'a']

.flatten() #

Get a new lazy Iterable of all elements from all collections in a collection.

var nestedList = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]];
var flattened = nestedList.flatten(); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

.chunkWhile() & .splitWhen() #

Chunk entries as long as long as two elements match a predicate:

final list = [1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21];
final increasingSubSequences = list.chunkWhile((a, b) => a + 1 == b);

// increasingSubSequences = [[1, 2], [4], [9], [10, 11, 12], [15, 16], [19, 20, 21]]

splitWhen is the opposite of chunkWhile that starts a new chunk every time the predicate didn't match.

String #

.chars #

Get a list of single character strings from a string. Supports emojis.

var chars = 'family๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ'.chars; // ['f', 'a', 'm', 'i', 'l', 'y', '๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ']

.isBlank #

Returns true if this string is empty or consists solely of whitespace characters.

var notBlank = '   .'.isBlank; // false
var blank = '  '.isBlank; // true

.toIntOrNull() #

Parses the string as an ineger or returns null if it is not a number.

var number = '12345'.toIntOrNull(); // 12345
var notANumber = '123-45'.toIntOrNull(); // null

Time utils #

Dartx exports @jogboms great โฐ time.dart package so you can do the following:

int secondsInADay = 1.days.inSeconds;

Duration totalTime = [12.5.seconds, 101.milliseconds, 2.5.minutes].sum();

DateTime oneWeekLater = DateTime.now() + 1.week;

Check out โฐ time.dart for more information and examples.

num #

.coerceIn() #

Ensures that this value lies in the specified range.

var numberInRange = 123.coerceIn(0, 1000); // 123
var numberOutOfRange = -123.coerceIn(0, 1000); // 0

.toBytes() #

Converts this value to binary form.

range #

rangeTo #

Creates a range between two ints (upwards, downwards and with custom steps)

// upwards with default step size 1
for (var i in 1.rangeTo(5)) {
  print(i); // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
}
// downwards with custom step
for (var i in 10.rangeTo(2).step(2)) {
  print(i); // 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
}

Function #

.invoke() - DEPRECATED #

Use call() instead. This is very useful for null checks.

var func = (String value) {
  print(value);
}

func?.call('hello world');

.partial(), .partial2() ... #

Applies some of the required arguments to a function and returns a function which takes the remaining arguments.

void greet(String firstName, String lastName) {
  print('Hi $firstName $lastName!');
}

var greetStark = greet.partial('Stark');
greetStark('Sansa'); // Hi Sansa Stark!
greetStark('Tony'); // Hi Tony Stark!

File #

.name #

Get the name and extension of a file.

var file = File('some/path/testFile.dart');
print(file.name); // testFile.dart
print(file.nameWithoutExtension); // testFile

.appendText() #

Append text to a file.

await File('someFile.json').appendText('{test: true}');

.isWithin() #

Checks if a file is inside a directory.

var dir = Directory('some/path');
File('some/path/file.dart').isWithin(dir); // true
