indexOf: Returns the first index of the first element in the list that equals to a given element. Returns -1 if nothing found.
indexWhere: Returns the first index in the list that satisfies thegiven conditions. If nothing found, returns -1.
lastIndexOf: Returns the index of the last element in the list that equals to a given element. Returns -1 if nothing found.
lastIndexWhere: Returns the last index in the list that satisfies thegiven conditions. If nothing found, returns -1.

The examples below will help you understand them better.Advertisements

Example 1: Finding the Index of a specific Map in a List of Maps

Lets say we have a list of people with information including id, name, and age. The first task is to find the index of the person whose id equals a given id (because the ids are unique we can have at most 1 result). The second task is to find the index of the last person whose age is greater than 80.

The code:

// main.dart void main() { final List> _people = [ {"id": "c1", "name": "John Doe", "age": 40}, {"id": "c2", "name": "Kindacode.com", "age": 3}, {"id": "c3", "name": "Pipi", "age": 1}, {"id": "c4", "name": "Jane Doe", "age": 99}, ]; // Find index of the person whose id = c3 final index1 = _people.indexWhere((element) => element["id"] == "c3"); if (index1 != -1) { print("Index $index1: ${_people[index1]}"); } // Find the last index where age > 80 final index2 = _people.lastIndexWhere((element) => element["age"] > 80); if (index2 != -1) { print("Index $index2: ${_people[index2]}"); } }

Output:

Index 2: {id: c3, name: Pipi, age: 1} Index 3: {id: c4, name: Jane Doe, age: 99}

Example 2: Finding the Index of a specific Object in a List of Objects

AdvertisementsLets say we have a list of given books. The first job is to find the index of the book whose id equals a given id. The second job is to find the index of the first book in the list that has the title contains a given string.

The code:

// main.dart class Book { String id; String title; double price; Book(this.id, this.title, this.price); } void main() { final List _books = [ Book('b1', 'A Blue Novel', 0.99), Book('b2', 'A Green Novel', 1.99), Book('b3', 'A Cooking Hanbook', 2.99), Book('b4', 'Kindacode.com', 0.00) ]; // Find the index of the book whose id is 'b4' final int index1 = _books.indexWhere(((book) => book.id == 'b4')); if (index1 != -1) { print('Index: $index1'); print('Title: ${_books[index1].title}'); } // Find the index of the fist book whose title contains 'Novel' final int index2 = _books.indexWhere((book) => book.title.contains('Novel')); if (index2 != -1) { print('Index: $index2'); print('Title: ${_books[index2].title}'); } }

Output:

Index: 3 Title: Kindacode.com Index: 0 Title: A Blue Novel
