here, dataLoader() is the isolate that runs in
its own separate execution thread.
in the isolate, you can perform more CPU intensive
processing (parsing a big JSON, for example),
or perform computationally intensive math,
such as encryption or signal processing.
you can run the full example below:
<code_start>
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:isolate';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
void main() {
runApp(const SampleApp());
}
class SampleApp extends StatelessWidget {
const SampleApp({super.key});
@override
widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const MaterialApp(
title: 'sample app',
home: SampleAppPage(),
);
}
}
class SampleAppPage extends StatefulWidget {
const SampleAppPage({super.key});
@override
State<SampleAppPage> createState() => _SampleAppPageState();
}
class _SampleAppPageState extends State<SampleAppPage> {
List<Map<String, dynamic>> data = <map<string, dynamic>>[];
@override

super.initState();
loadData();
}
bool get showLoadingDialog => data.isEmpty;
future<void> loadData() async {
final ReceivePort receivePort = ReceivePort();

sendPort,
'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
