Error while sending List data to cloud firestore using REST api in flutter

Question

I'm not able to send List of string to cloud firestore using REST api in flutter.

//###### here is my code ##########

Future addVisit(Visit visit) async { //function
try {
var response = await http.post( //post method to send data
  "${VISIT_API}",
  headers:
      {"Authorization": "Bearer ${Utils.loginToken}"},

Working fine upto "Facility", but getting error while inserting "Facility: as all others are String values and Facility is of type List

  body: json.encode(
    {
      "fields": {
        "status": {"stringValue": visit.status},
        "id": {"stringValue": visit.id},
        "name": {"stringValue": visit.name},
        "dateTime": {"integerValue": visit.dateTime},
        "mob": {"integerValue": visit.mob},
        "idproof": {"integerValue": visit.idproof},
        "address": {"stringValue": visit.address},
        "purpose ": {"stringValue": visit.purpose},
        "facility": {"arrayValue": visit.facility} //error line
      }
    },
  ),
);
print("reach");
if (response.statusCode == 200) { // successful
  print("visit added");
  return true;
} else {
  print(response.body);
}
} catch (err) {
throw err;
}
}

I do the post-request like

 String VISIT_API =
 "https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects//databases/(default)/documents/visits";

Error message is here

Try writing your facility array value like this:

"facility": {
  "arrayValue": {
    "values": [
      {
        "stringValue": "lunch"
      },
      {
        "stringValue": "dinner"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The "values" part comes from the references for Value and arrayValue.
