How to Map Flutter JSON Strings from List?

Viewed 33988

I'm successfully printing my response as String from my YouTube JSON url, but when I try to serialize through the "items" I get the following error Unhandled exception: type 'List' is not a subtype of type 'Map' of 'json' where List is from dart:core Map is from dart:core

Here is my code...

class CardInfo {
  //Constructor
  String id;
  String description;
  String role;
  //int score;

  CardInfo.fromJson(Map json) {
    this.id = json['vieoId'];
    this.description = json['description'];
    this.role = json['title'];
    //this.score = json['score'];
  }
}

Future getData() async {
    String url = 'YouTube url';
    var httpClient  = createHttpClient();
    var response = await httpClient.get(url);
    Map data = JSON.decode(response.body);
    //String ip = data['items'];
    var ci = new CardInfo.fromJson(data['items']);

    //print(data['items']);
    print(ci.id);
    //print(ci.description);
    //print(ci.role);

    if (!mounted) return;


    setState(() {});

  }

print(data['items'] is printing, but print(ci.id) or any Card Info variables throws the above error.

*** UPDATE WITH FOR LOOP STATEMENT

Here is code for my for loop that's returning a type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'int' of 'index' error...

Map data = JSON.decode(response);
var videos = data['items'];
for (var items in videos['snippet']){
      print(items);
    }

Running a loop through items in videos gives me 3 separate entries for the 3 videos I'm looking for - including snippets. Trying to get the individual snippets is failing. Please point me in the right direction.

Model Class

class Testimony{
    String fullname;
   String testimony;

   Testimony({this.fullname,
     this.testimony}); 

    factory Testimony.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => new Testimony(
      fullname: json['fullname'] as String,
       testimony: json['testimony'] as String,  
         );

         }

API CLASS

List<Testimony> ToListandMap (String responseBody) {
 Map data = json.decode(responseBody);
    var videos = data['testimonies']; //returns a List of Maps
  final casting =  videos.cast<Map<String, dynamic>>();
   return casting.map<Testimony>((json) => Testimony.fromJson(json)).toList();
    }

Future<List<Testimony>> fetchTestimonies(http.Client client) async {
       final response = await client.get('https://tryjambcbt.com/api/testimonies');

         return ToList(response.body);
         }

MainWidget for UI

FutureBuilder<List<Testimony>>(
    future: fetchTestimonies(http.Client()),
    builder: (context, snapshot) {
      if (snapshot.hasError) print(snapshot.error);
      return snapshot.hasData
          ? TestimonyList(testimony: snapshot.data)
          : Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
    },
  ),

Widget

class TestimonyList extends StatelessWidget {
final List<Testimony> testimony;

TestimonyList({Key key, this.testimony}) : super(key: key);

  @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return ListView.builder(
    physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),
    padding: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 10),
    shrinkWrap: true,
    scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
    itemCount: testimony.length,
    itemBuilder: (context, index) {
    return Padding(
      padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 10),
      child: Text(testimony[index].testimony)
       );
      },
    );
   }
  }
