firstWhere method
inherited
The first element that satisfies the given predicate test
.
Iterates through elements and returns the first to satisfy test
.
Example:
final numbers = <int>[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7];
var result = numbers.firstWhere((element) => element < 5); // 1
result = numbers.firstWhere((element) => element > 5); // 6
result =
numbers.firstWhere((element) => element > 10, orElse: () => -1); // -1
If no element satisfies test
, the result of invoking the orElse
function is returned.
If orElse
is omitted, it defaults to throwing a StateError.
Stops iterating on the first matching element.
Implementation
@override
T firstWhere(
final bool Function(T element) test, {
final T Function()? orElse,
}) {
for (final T item in this) {
if (test(item)) {
return item;
}
}
if (orElse != null) {
return orElse();
}
throw StateError('No matching element');
}
