Add multiple images

Question

I want display multiple Containers with images but I don't want fill the code with Containers, I want do some validations to displaying them. What is the best way to do this?

Container(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
          child:Image.asset("images/a.png"),//if validation ok show this1              
),
Container(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
          child:Image.asset("images/b.png"),//if validation ok show this1              
        )
Container(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
          child:Image.asset("images/c.png"),//if validation ok show this1              
        )
//d.png e.png f.png g.png...

Im new at Dart, I just need a tip. Thanks!

Answer 1

you can create a function that returns a list of widgets

List<Widget> createWidget(bool isTrueValidation){
    var images = ["images/a.png","images/b.png","images/c.png"];
    List<Widget> list = List<Widget>();

    for(var i in images){
        list.add(
            isTrueValidation ?
            Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
                child:Image.asset(images[i])             
            ) : Container()
        );
    }
}

You may try this tip :

define ImageCard once

class ImageCard extends StatelessWidget {
  final String imagePath;

  ImageCard({this.imagePath});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return imagePath != null // null handler
        ? Container(
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
            child: Image.asset(imagePath),
          )
        : Container();
  }
}

render multiple images programmatically at screen widget

List<Widget> renderImages(){  
   List<Widget> renderImages() {
    var temp = <Widget>[];
    for (var imagePath in imagePaths) {

      // add some conditional logic here
      // we only add more Item if it matches certain condition

      if (imagePath.contains('3') || imagePath.contains('5')) {
        temp.add(ImageCard(
          imagePath: imagePath,
        ));
      }
    }
    return temp;
  }
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context){
    ...
    child: Column(
      children: renderImages(),
    ),
    ...
}

Full-code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

List<String> imagePaths = [
  "assets/images/flower-1.jpeg",
  "assets/images/flower-2.jpeg",
  "assets/images/flower-3.jpeg",
  "assets/images/flower-4.jpeg",
  "assets/images/flower-5.jpeg",
];

class ImageCardScreenEfficient extends StatelessWidget {
  List<Widget> renderImages() {
    var temp = <Widget>[];
    for (var imagePath in imagePaths) {
      // add some conditional logic here
      if (imagePath.contains('3') || imagePath.contains('5')) {
        temp.add(ImageCard(
          imagePath: imagePath,
        ));
      }
    }
    return temp;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Image Cards Efficient "),
      ),
      body: SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Center(
          child: Column(
            children: renderImages(),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class ImageCard extends StatelessWidget {
  final String imagePath;

  ImageCard({this.imagePath});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
      child: Image.asset(imagePath),
    );
  }
}
