Flutter How to render ListView items in sections

Hi, Developer in this flutter tutorial I am sharing how to create a listview with the card.  And device the list into a section like showing n image. How to render ListView items in sections by (section-id) from JSON file.

So Let’s Start to create a flutter app to design a screen where I show a list of data on card view.  And also devised this list into 2 sections. So start your android studio and create a flutter App and follow the below code.

Flutter  ListView data

List<Map<String, String>> entities = [
  {
    "section-id": "1",
    "section-title": "Active",
    "title": "item1",
  },
  {
    "section-id": "1",
    "section-title": "Active",
    "title": "item2",
  },
  {
    "section-id": "2",
    "section-title": "Inactive",
    "title": "item3",
  },
  {
    "section-id": "2",
    "section-title": "Inactive",
    "title": "item4",
  },
  {
    "section-id": "2",
    "section-title": "Inactive",
    "title": "item5",
  }
];

 

In this example, I used the above list to show the data so that I am the devices list into sections using the key section-title. So in Ui, you can see a group of time based on the section-title key like Active item and Inactive item.
