I'm making a midel to upload product image,price and name to firebase then i face this error (The argument type 'ProductModel?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'ProductModel'.)

    class ProductProvider with ChangeNotifier {
  List<ProductModel> pizzaProductList = [];
  ProductModel? productModel;

  fatchPizzaproductData() async {
   // List<ProductModel> newList = [];

    QuerySnapshot value =
        await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("PizzaProducts").get();

     pizzaProductList = value.docs.map((element) {
      return ProductModel(
        productImage: element.get("productImage"),
        productName: element.get("productName"),
        productPrice: element.get("productPrice"),
      );
    }).toList();
    
  }

  get getPizzaproductDataList {
    return pizzaProductList;
  }
}

Solution

  • The problem is that productModel is a nullable type, whereas pizzaProduct is a List of non-nullable ProductModels.

    Instead of storing a property productModel on your class, consider mapping directly from value.docs to pizzaProduct, and removing the intermediate step of storing the model in productModel:

    class ProductProvider with ChangeNotifier {
      List<ProductModel> pizzaProduct = [];
    
      Future<void> fetchPizzaProductData() async {
        QuerySnapshot value =
            await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("PizzaProducts").get();
    
        pizzaProduct = value.docs.map((element) {
          return ProductModel(
            productImage: element.get("productImage"),
            productName: element.get("productName"),
            productPrice: element.get("productPrice"),
          );
        }).toList();
    
        // Since this is a ChangeNotifier, I'm assuming you might want to
        // notify listeners when `pizzaProduct` changes. Disregard this line
        // if that's not the case.
        notifyListeners();
      }
    }
