How does this getter variable with async works in DART

Question

I came across these code in flutter.

    static Future<String> get platformVersion async
    {
        final String version = await _channel.invokeMethod('getPlatformVersion');
        return version;
    }

I was creating flutter plugin using android studio. Do we have to use await keyword while accessing its value

Answer 1

Yes, because the return type is a Future, you await the value. You would do :

String platformVersion = await GetVersion.platformVersion;
