A library to access deep nested values inside of dart data structures, like returned from `dynamic jsonDecode(String source)`.

deep_pick

A library to access deep nested values inside of dart data structures (nested Lists and Maps).

• json parsed with dart:convert dynamic jsonDecode(String source)
• DocumentSnapshots in Firebase Firestore

Example

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:deep_pick/deep_pick.dart';

void main() {
  final json = jsonDecode('''
{
  "shoes": [
     { 
       "id": "421",
       "name": "Nike Zoom Fly 3",
       "tags": ["nike", "JustDoIt"]
     },
     { 
       "id": "532",
       "name": "adidas Ultraboost",
       "manufacturer": "adidas",
       "tags": ["adidas", "ImpossibleIsNothing"]
     }
  ]
}
''');
  // pick a value deep down the json structure
  final firstTag = pick(json, 'shoes', 1, 'tags', 0).asStringOrNull();
  print(firstTag); // adidas

  // fallback to null if it couldn't be found
  final manufacturer = pick(json, 'shoes', 0, 'manufacturer').asStringOrNull();
  print(manufacturer); // null

  // use required() to crash if a object doesn't exist
  final name = pick(json, 'shoes', 0, 'name').required().asString();
  print(name); // Nike Zoom Fly 3

  // you decide which type you want
  final id = pick(json, 'shoes', 0, 'id');
  print(id.asIntOrNull()); // 421
  print(id.asDoubleOrNull()); // 421.0
  print(id.asStringOrNull()); // "421"

  // pick lists
  final tags = pick(json, 'shoes', 0, 'tags').asListOrEmpty<String>();
  print(tags); // [nike, JustDoIt]

  // pick maps
  final shoe = pick(json, 'shoes', 0).required().asMap();
  print(shoe); // {id: 421, name: Nike Zoom Fly 3, tags: [nike, JustDoIt]}

  // easily pick and map objects to dart objects
  final firstShoe = pick(json, 'shoes', 0).letOrNull((p) => Shoe.fromPick(p));
  print(firstShoe);
  // Shoe{id: 421, name: Nike Zoom Fly 3, tags: [nike, JustDoIt]}

  // falls back to null when the value couldn't be picked
  final thirdShoe = pick(json, 'shoes', 2).letOrNull((p) => Shoe.fromPick(p));
  print(thirdShoe); // null

  // map list of picks to dart objects
  final shoes =
      pick(json, 'shoes').asListOrEmpty((p) => Shoe.fromPick(p.required()));
  print(shoes);
  // [
  //   Shoe{id: 421, name: Nike Zoom Fly 3, tags: [nike, JustDoIt]},
  //   Shoe{id: 532, name: adidas Ultraboost, tags: [adidas, ImpossibleIsNothing]}
  // ]
