Flutter | How to check if String does not contain a substring or a character


I'm learning Flutter/Dart and there is this check that i want to perform - to validate that a user who has entered an email should contain @ in it

String myString = 'Dart';

// just like i can do the following check
myString.contains('a') ? print('validate') : print('does not validate')

// I want to do another check here
myString does not contain('@') ? print('does not validate'): print('validate')

Can someone suggest is there any inbuilt function to do such a thing.


Solution

  • Just simply put not ! operator (also known as bang operator on null-safety) on start

    void main() {
      String myString = 'Dart';
    
    // just like i can do the following check
      myString.contains('a') ? print('validate') : print('does not validate');
    
    // I want to do another check here
      !myString.contains('@') ? print('does not validate') : print('validate');
    }
