      // ignore: unnecessary_null_comparison
      if (productId != null) {
        _editedproduct =
            Provider.of<Products>(context, listen: false).FindByID(productId);
        _imageUrlController.text = _editedproduct.imageUrl;
        _initValues = {
          'title': _editedproduct.title,
          'description': _editedproduct.description,
          'Price': _editedproduct.price.toString(),

Solution

  • While Null-Safety is implemented, most tutorials were made before it so in your case where you are trying to check if the ModalRoute returns you a null value or not and do stuff depending on that, good old if(productId == null) won't work now. Instead you can do this:

    final productId = ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings.arguments == null ? "NULL":ModalRoute.of(context)!.settings.arguments as String;

if(productId != "NULL"){
 
   //Do stuff here

}

    If ModalRoute gives you null, you assign the string "NULL" to your variable productId else you just assign whatever value it returned.

    Then you can simply check if the value of productId is NULL and proceed accordingly.
