Executing optional (nullable) `Function` in Dart

Question

In some languages like Swift if you have Optional variable like below

var onItemPressed: ((Item) -> Void)?

// we can call this variable (function) like this
onItemPressed?(Item())

What's the equivalent of this in Dart language?

The equivalent in Dart would be the call method on functions.

Like this,

onItemPressed?.call(Item())

So basically, whenever your onItemPressed is null, the execution short-circuits itself and it won't be called resulting in avoiding the crash.
