firstWhere method

  1. @override
E firstWhere(
  1. bool test(
    1. E
    ), {
  2. E orElse()?,
})
inherited

The first element that satisfies the given predicate test.

Iterates through elements and returns the first to satisfy test.

Example:

final numbers = <int>[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7];
var result = numbers.firstWhere((element) => element < 5); // 1
result = numbers.firstWhere((element) => element > 5); // 6
result =
    numbers.firstWhere((element) => element > 10, orElse: () => -1); // -1

If no element satisfies test, the result of invoking the orElse function is returned. If orElse is omitted, it defaults to throwing a StateError. Stops iterating on the first matching element.

Implementation

@override
E firstWhere(bool Function(E) test, {E Function()? orElse}) =>
    _base.firstWhere(test, orElse: orElse);
