Null while returning a Future in Dart - dart

Question

I have two classes, a user_api_manager and a base_api_manager. From user_api_manager i call the get method of base_api_manager which performs an http get request and returns a Future<String>. The getrequest is performed but i am not pass the result to my user_api_manager class. The callback result is always null.
This is my user_api_manager.dart
static Future<Map<String,dynamic>> forgotPasswordAPI(String email) async{
String url = Constants.BASE_URL + Constants.FORGOT_PASSWORD_URL + email;
await BaseApiManager.get(url: url).then((val) {
var response = JSON.decode(val);
var status = response['status'];
String message = '';
print(response);
switch (response['status']) {
case Constants.SUCCESS:
message = Constants.SUCCESS_RESPONSE;
break;
case Constants.SERVER_ERROR:
message = Constants.SERVER_ERROR_MESSAGE;
break;
case Constants.UNAUTHORISED:
message = Constants.UNAUTHORISED_MESSAGE;
break;
}
return {'status':status,'message':message};
});
}
and here is my base_api_manager.dart
static Future<String> get({url : String,
parameters : Map ,
headers: Map }) async {
var client = new http.Client();
Map<String,dynamic> resultJSON;
final c = new Completer();
await client.get(url).then((response) { //response is always null
resultJSON = {
'status' : response.statusCode,
'body' : JSON.decode(response.body)
};
c.complete(resultJSON.toString());
return c.future;
});
}
How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Move the return c.future outside of the response processing, i.e you want to return this from your get otherwise you will return null.

Answer 2

You can simplify the code. That should make it easier to locate the problem
static Future<String> get({url : String, parameters : Map, headers: Map }) async {
var client = new http.Client();
final response = await client.get(url);
print(response.body);
var resultJSON = {
'status' : response.statusCode,
'body' : JSON.decode(response.body)
};
return resultJSON.toString()
}
What does that code print?
