Display items in a list containing a specific name - flutter - list

Question

In this list, I want to display out all the items that contains this specific name.
My list items: ['US', 'SG', 'US']
print(list.contains("US"));
Using .contains() returns me a true or false but it doesn’t return me the list of strings that contains that. I want to only extract out the items that has 'US' from the list. In this case, there's 2 of it. Please help!

Answer 1

You can try doing it the following way -
List<String> myList = ['US', 'SG', 'US'];
print(myList.where((item) => item.contains("US")));
You can also display it directly inside a Text widget in the following way -
Text(
myList.where((item) => item.contains("US")).join(" "),
//The join function joins the elements of the Iterable into a single string with the separator provided as an argument.
),
Hope this helps!
UPDATE:
To display each of the word separately as a list you can display them inside a Column in the following way -
Column(
children: myList.map((value) {
if(value.contains("US")){
return Text(value,);
} else {
return Container();
//Return an empty Container for non-matching case
}
}).toList(),
)
The same thing can be used inside a ListView instead of Column if you want it to be scrollable.

Answer 2

Something like this?
var myList = ['US', 'SG', 'US'];
myList.forEach((w){
if(w == "US")
print(w);
});
To show:
class SO extends StatelessWidget {
var myList = ['US', 'SG', 'US'];
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Column(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: myList.where((w) => w == "US").map((w) => Text(w)).toList(),
),
);
}
}
or for a single line display use, Text instead of Column widget mentioned above
Text(myList.where((w) => w.contains("US")).join(" "))

If you are using "list.contains". It will only show the list exist or not , If you want to print the value you have to use follow :
var fruits = [‘banana’, ‘pineapple’, ‘watermelon’];fruits.forEach((fruit) => print(fruit)); // => banana pineapple watermelon
If you want to print just banana then you can use this
var fruits = [‘banana’, ‘pineapple’, ‘watermelon’];fruits.(fruit) => print(fruit[0]); // => banana
