Map in Dart

Map is an object that consists of a key and a value.

  • In Map , key must be of type String and value can be dynamic.

There are two ways to declare a map

  • Map Literal
  • Map Constructor

Map Literal

  • With the Map Literal, you need to use a pair of curly brackets . Here’s an example of the syntax.
	var names = { key1 : value1, key2 : value2 }

In Above Code there are key1 and key2 as keys in the map, and while value1 and value2 as the value of the keyword map.

	void main() {
  var appName = {'name': 'Blog App', 'platform': 'Flutter-Android'};
  print(appName);
}
	

			
	
	


	{name: Blog App, platform: Flutter-Android}

Dart Map Example

You Can Specific key,Use the following syntax

	void main() {
  var appName = {'name': 'Blog App', 'platform': 'Flutter-Android'};
  print(appName['name']);
}
	

			
	
	


	Blog App

Dart Maps

Constructor

It takes two steps to construct map, namely declaring and Initializing.

	var name = new Map()
name[key]=value

In Above Code , we initializing the map variable and adding map elements.

	void main() {
  var appName = new Map();
  appName['name'] = 'News App';
  appName['platform'] = 'Flutter-Windows';
  print(appName);
}

  • keys – Returns all keys
  • values – Returns all values
  • length – Returns the length on the Map
  • isEmpty – Returns true if the map element is empty, false otherwise

  appName['name'] = 'News App';
  appName['platform'] = 'Flutter-Windows';
  appName['search'] = true;
}
