How can I get the name of a file in Dart?

Question

I found I can't get the name of a file in a simple way :(

Dart code:

File file = new File("/dev/dart/work/hello/app.dart");

How to get the file name app.dart?

I don't find an API for this, so what I do is:

var path = file.path;
var filename = path.split("/").last;

Is there any simpler solution?

Answer 1

You can use the path package :

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:path/path.dart';

main() {
  File file = new File("/dev/dart/work/hello/app.dart");
  String filename = basename(file.path);
}

Answer 2

If you don't want to use the path pub package, you can use the Uri class from dart:io that returns the filename and its extension:

String fileName = File(localFilePath).uri.pathSegments.last;
