Firebase Rtdb

when I print it only appears [], how do I make a list of the type [word1, word2] appear? I intend to use the list to make a dropdownbutton afterwards.

Answer 1

first, you need to check, is "blocos" has data or not. You can print on event curly brackets first. I think, the mistakes is you're not make sure, is "blocos" has data or not. Hopefully can help you. Thank you
