Question

I have a requirement of converting Stream<List<T>> to Stream<Map<K,T>>
I have a class
class Order
{
int id;
DateTime date;
}
I want to convert Stream<List<Order>> to Stream<Map<DateTime, List<Order>>
I want to display orders as below
12-Dec-2020
Order 1
Order 2
13-Dec-2020
Order 3
Order 4
14-Dec-2020
Order 5
Order 6
Suggestions for a better DS are welcome.
How do I do this?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Using groupListsBy from collection: ^1.15.0
K keySelector(T t) { ... }
final Stream<List<T>> source$ = ...;
final Stream<Map<K, List<T>>> result$ = source$.map((list) => list.groupListsBy(keySelector));

Answer 2

You can do this without any package.
First, you have to create an empty Map, then map a List<Order> to a map with a key as a date from the list item (single order) then add it to That Empty map.
Check if the date is available as a key in Map. If the date exists as a key in that map then simply add a new order to that value or else simply add a new key to the Map.
Code:
Stream<List<Order>> orders = ...;
Stream<Map<DateTime, List<Order>>> ordersByDate = {};
orders.forEach((Order order){
ordersByDate.keys.contains(order.date)
? ordersByDate.update(order.date, (oldValue) => oldValue + <Order>[order])
: ordersByDate[order.date] = [order];
});
print(ordersByDate);
//At here your ordersByDate
Let me know if it works for you.

Fold method is what you're looking for.
Example:
void main() async {
final today = DateTime.now();
final tomorrow = today.add(const Duration(days: 1));
final order1 = Order(1, today);
final order2 = Order(2, today);
final order3 = Order(3, tomorrow);
final x = await Stream
.fromIterable([order1, order2, order3])
.fold<Map<DateTime, List<Order>>>({}, (val, element) {
(val[element.date] ??= []).add(element);
// Same as:
// if (val[element.date] == null) {
// val[element.date] = [];
// }
// val[element.date]!.add(element);
return val;
});
print(x);
}
class Order
{
int id;
DateTime date;
Order(this.id, this.date);
#override
String toString() {
return 'Order(id: $id, date: $date)';
}
}
