I have an image picker function, that picks image from gallery and then assigns that to _image variable which is String. It converts it to base64 because that is what was necessary. I want to know how would I go about getting the default image from assets as the _image if no image was picked (picked image is null). Here's the code and things I've tried commented out, it is under else in code:
Future _getImage() async { PickedFile pickedFile = await picker.getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery); setState(() { if (pickedFile != null) { final file = File(pickedFile.path); _image = Utility.base64String(file.readAsBytesSync()); } else { //if image wasn't picked, get the default one from assets print('No image selected.'); // final file = File(AssetImage('assets/defaultfood.jpg').toString()); // _image = Utility.base64String(file.readAsBytesSync()); //final file = File('assets/defaultfood.jpg'); //_image = Utility.base64String(file.readAsBytesSync()); } });
}
add image placeholder like this ternary condition
child: pickedFile == null ? Image.asset("assets/images/man_user.png",height: 100, width: 100): Image.file(pickedFile, height: 100, width: 100),
