We can forget about the 4th line for now.
I'll tell you a bit about my app. The app can have 2 rounds, each round having a maximum of 10 questions, each question will have a timer for 3 minutes. Now I need to get these questions(3rd line) from this json and display in the app.
The below list is what I'll have to update.
import 'package:activepeers_app_internship/models/questions.dart';
List<Question> sample_data = [
Question(id: 1,
question: "Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by ______",
),
Question(
id: 2,
question: "When google release Flutter.",
),
Question(
id: 3,
question: "A memory location that holds a single letter or number.",
),
Question(
id: 4,
question: "What command do you use to output data to the screen?",
),
];
Can you tell me how to get those questions here as I don't know how to.

Answer 1

What you receive is JSON. It is an array of Strings. The third element is a String, which can be interpreted as JSON (JSON encoded as String). You can use jsonDecode to decode it to a Map<String, dynamic> – you then have to parse the map and initialize your model.
You can read it all in detail here:
https://docs.flutter.dev/development/data-and-backend/json
For example:
import 'dart:convert';
class User {
final String name;
final String email;
User(this.name, this.email);
User.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json)
: name = json['name'],
email = json['email'];
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
'name': name,
'email': email,
};
}
void main() {
// in your example you would get read the string from the third line
// of the response
final jsonString = '{"name":"John Smith","email":"john#example.com"}';
Map<String, dynamic> userMap = jsonDecode(jsonString);
var user = User.fromJson(userMap);
print('Howdy, ${user.name}!');
print('We sent the verification link to ${user.email}.');
}
