<topic_start>Delete data on the internet |
This recipe covers how to delete data over |
the internet using the http package.This recipe uses the following steps:<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
1. Add the http package |
To add the http package as a dependency, |
run flutter pub add:Import the http package. |
<code_start>import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;<code_end> |
<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
2. Delete data on the server |
This recipe covers how to delete an album from the |
JSONPlaceholder using the http.delete() method. |
Note that this requires the id of the album that |
you want to delete. For this example, |
use something you already know, for example id = 1. |
<code_start>Future<http.Response> deleteAlbum(String id) async { |
final http.Response response = await http.delete( |
Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums/$id'), |
headers: <String, String>{ |
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8', |
}, |
); |
return response; |
}<code_end> |
The http.delete() method returns a Future that contains a Response.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
3. Update the screen |
In order to check whether the data has been deleted or not, |
first fetch the data from the JSONPlaceholder |
using the http.get() method, and display it in the screen. |
(See the Fetch Data recipe for a complete example.) |
You should now have a Delete Data button that, |
when pressed, calls the deleteAlbum() method. |
<code_start>Column( |
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, |
children: <Widget>[ |
Text(snapshot.data?.title ?? 'Deleted'), |
ElevatedButton( |
child: const Text('Delete Data'), |
onPressed: () { |
setState(() { |
_futureAlbum = |
deleteAlbum(snapshot.data!.id.toString()); |
}); |
}, |
), |
], |
);<code_end> |
Now, when you click on the Delete Data button, |
the deleteAlbum() method is called and the id |
you are passing is the id of the data that you retrieved |
from the internet. This means you are going to delete |
the same data that you fetched from the internet.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Returning a response from the deleteAlbum() method |
Once the delete request has been made, |
you can return a response from the deleteAlbum() |
method to notify our screen that the data has been deleted. |
<code_start>Future<Album> deleteAlbum(String id) async { |
final http.Response response = await http.delete( |
Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums/$id'), |
headers: <String, String>{ |
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8', |
}, |
); |
if (response.statusCode == 200) { |
// If the server did return a 200 OK response, |
// then parse the JSON. After deleting, |
// you'll get an empty JSON `{}` response. |
// Don't return `null`, otherwise `snapshot.hasData` |
// will always return false on `FutureBuilder`. |
return Album.fromJson(jsonDecode(response.body) as Map<String, dynamic>); |
} else { |
// If the server did not return a "200 OK response", |
// then throw an exception. |
throw Exception('Failed to delete album.'); |
} |
}<code_end> |
FutureBuilder() now rebuilds when it receives a response. |
Since the response won’t have any data in its body |
if the request was successful, |
the Album.fromJson() method creates an instance of the |
Album object with a default value (null in our case). |
This behavior can be altered in any way you wish.That’s all! |
Now you’ve got a function that deletes the data from the internet.<topic_end> |
