Nulls Return on Get Item

[imreallyliam]

A null returns the first time I use Get-Item on a certain page, this (due to the way code is written) causes data to be written as null.

What can be done to prevent nulls on the first call?

Its flutter. You can easily use if(data != null) to check if there exsists any data. In case you dont want the first time a null return, i would just add

Map<String, dynamic> data = storage.getItem('key');
if(data == null) {
    data = defaultData(); // Replace with own default data
}
...

Or did i misunderstand your issue?

[imreallyliam]

The issue was that it'd return null when there was data. If the data is null, the system overwrites it with default data, causing a reset.

If you got a null, it means you got nothing. I don't think anything is going wrong here. Also, It's your choice whether to overwrite or not. @xeu100

@xeu100 make sure that you call getItem after await storage.ready (https://pub.dev/documentation/localstorage/latest/localstorage/LocalStorage/ready.html) there's also a chance something went wrong during data write, there's an error listener for this (https://pub.dev/documentation/localstorage/latest/localstorage/LocalStorage/onError.html)
