I am trying to create a simple app that adds posts to a firebase realtime database and shows them on a listview in flutter, but when I "post" it to the database, on the firebase console, the data value constantly appears as null. does anyone know what is wrong?
Here is a bit of my code -
post.dart
class Post {
Image coverImg;
File audioFile;
String body;
String author;
Set usersLiked = {};
DatabaseReference _id;
Post(this.body, this.author);
void likePost(User user) {
if (this.usersLiked.contains(user.uid)) {
this.usersLiked.remove(user.uid);
} else {
this.usersLiked.add(user.uid);
}
}
void update() {
updatePost(this, this._id);
}
void setId(DatabaseReference id) {
this._id = id;
}
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
return {
'body': this.body,
'author': this.author,
'usersLiked': this.usersLiked.toList()
};
}
}
Post createPost(record) {
Map<String, dynamic> attributes = {
'author': '',
'usersLiked': [],
'body': ''
};
record.forEach((key, value) => {attributes[key] = value});
Post post = new Post(attributes['body'], attributes['author']);
post.usersLiked = new Set.from(attributes['usersLiked']);
return post;
}
class PostList extends StatefulWidget {
final List<Post> listItems;
final User user;
PostList(this.listItems, this.user);
@override
_PostListState createState() => _PostListState();
}
class _PostListState extends State<PostList> {
void like(Function callBack) {
this.setState(() {
callBack();
});
}
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
}

super.dispose();
}
@override
