Dart null / false / empty checking: How to write this shorter?

If your requirement was simply empty or null (like mine when I saw this title in a search result), you can use Dart’s safe navigation operator to make it a bit more terse:

if (routeinfo["no_route"]?.isEmpty ?? true) {
  // 
}

Where

• isEmpty checks for an empty String, but if routeinfo is null you can’t call isEmpty on null, so we check for null with
• ?. safe navigation operator which will only call isEmpty when the object is not null and produce null otherwise. So we just need to check for null with
• ?? null coalescing operator

If your map is a nullable type then you have to safely navigate that:

if (routeinfo?["no_route"]?.isEmpty ?? true) {
  //
}
