The argument type 'Object?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'String'

Question

These are the errors I get

Here is my chart.dart file

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:udemy_expenses_app/widgets/chart_bar.dart';
import '../models/tanscations.dart';
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import './chart_bar.dart';

class Chart extends StatelessWidget {
  final List<Transaction> recentTransactions;
  Chart(this.recentTransactions);
  List<Map<String, Object>> get groupedTransactionValues {
  return List.generate(7, (index) {
   final weekDay = DateTime.now().subtract(
    Duration(
      days: index,
    ),
  );
  double totalSum = 0.0;
  for (var i = 0; i < recentTransactions.length; i++) {
    if (recentTransactions[i].date.day == weekDay.day &&
        recentTransactions[i].date.month == weekDay.month &&
        recentTransactions[i].date.year == weekDay.year) {
      totalSum += recentTransactions[i].amount;
    }
  }

  return {
    'day': DateFormat.E().format(weekDay).substring(0, 1),
    'amount': totalSum,
  };
});
}

double get totalSpending {
  return groupedTransactionValues.fold(0.0, (sum, item) {
  return sum + item['amount']; 
  //  Error: A value of type 'Object?' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'num'.
 });
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Card(
    elevation: 6,
    margin: EdgeInsets.all(20),
    child: Row(
        children: groupedTransactionValues.map((data) {
      return ChartBar(
        data['day'],
        // Error: The argument type 'Object?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'String'.
        data['amount'],
        // Error: The argument type 'Object?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'String'.
        (data['amount'] as double) / totalSpending,
      );
    }).toList()));
  }
}

I dont know where did I go wrong

Answer 1

The method groupedTransactionValues is returning a map of Object. Rather, return a map of dynamic which is a runtime determined type. Change the line:

List<Map<String, Object>> get groupedTransactionValues {

to:

List<Map<String, dynamic>> get groupedTransactionValues {
