Futures

Futures in Flutter are a way of representing a potential value that will be available at some point in the future. Some key points about Futures in Flutter:

  • Futures are used for asynchronous programming in Flutter
  • Futures return a single value (or an error) and are often used with async and await.
  • The then method can be used to attach a callback to a Future that will be executed once the Future's value is available
  • Futures can be combined with other Futures using Future.wait or Future.whenComplete methods
  • Futures are often used with network requests, file I/O operations, and other long-running tasks in Flutter.
