How to Export data getting from FaceBook to CSV file using Flutter

Question

I have the below screen which contains user info and have a button Export CSV:

All I need when click Export CSV just export a file as the below format:

This is the CSV Controller file:

import 'package:csv/csv.dart';
import 'dart:io' as Io;
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import 'package:simpleappauth/general.dart';

class CsvController {

  static Future<Io.File> getCsvFromList(List<List<dynamic>> csvDataList) async {
    try {
      String csvDataString = const ListToCsvConverter().convert(csvDataList);
      Io.File csvFile = await _saveFile(csvDataString);
      return csvFile;
    } catch (e) {
      print(e.toString());
      return null;
    }
  }

  static Future<Io.File> getCsvFromString(String csvString) async {
    try {
      Io.File csvFile = await _saveFile(csvString);
      return csvFile;
    } catch (e) {
      print(e.toString());
      return null;
    }
  }

  static Future<String> _getFilePath(String fileName) async {
    Io.Directory appDocumentsDirectory = await getExternalStorageDirectory(); // 1
    String appDocumentsPath = appDocumentsDirectory.path; // 2
    String filePath = '$appDocumentsPath/$fileName.csv'; // 3
    return filePath;
  }

  final DateFormat formatter = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');

  static Future<Io.File> _saveFile(String fileDataString, {index = 0}) async {
    try {
      Io.File file = Io.File(await _getFilePath(
          "${DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch}" +
              (index > 0 ? "($index)" : "")));
      if (!file.existsSync()) {
        // 1
        file.writeAsStringSync(fileDataString); // 2
        return file;
      } else {
        return _saveFile(fileDataString, index: index + 1);
      }
    } catch (e) {
      print(e.toString());
      return null;
    }
  }
}

and this is the below main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_facebook_login/flutter_facebook_login.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'dart:convert' as JSON;
import 'dart:io';

import 'package:simpleappauth/csv_controller.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    // TODO: implement createState
    return _MyAppState();
  }
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  bool _isLoggedIn = false;
  Map userProfile;
  final facebookLogin = FacebookLogin();


  _loginWithFB() async {
    final result = await facebookLogin.logIn(['email']);

    switch (result.status) {
      case FacebookLoginStatus.loggedIn:
        final token = result.accessToken.token;
        final graphResponse = await http.get(Uri.parse(
            'https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/me?fields=id,name,picture,email,name_format,birthday,hometown&access_token=${token}'));

        final profile = JSON.jsonDecode(graphResponse.body);
        print(profile);
        setState(() {
          userProfile = profile;
          _isLoggedIn = true;
        });
        break;

      case FacebookLoginStatus.cancelledByUser:
        setState(() => _isLoggedIn = false);
        break;
      case FacebookLoginStatus.error:
        setState(() => _isLoggedIn = false);
        break;
    }
  }

  _logout() {
    facebookLogin.logOut();
    setState(() {
      _isLoggedIn = false;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // TODO: implement build
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        body: Center(
            child: _isLoggedIn
                ? Column(
              mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
              children: <Widget>[
                Image.network(
                  userProfile["picture"]["data"]["url"],
                  height: 100.0,
                  width: 100.0,
                ),
                Text(userProfile["id"]),
                Text(userProfile["name"]),
                Text(userProfile["email"]),
                Text(userProfile["name_format"]),
                Text(userProfile["birthday"] ?? 'Birthday: empty'),
                Text(userProfile["hometown"] ?? 'Hometown: empty'),
                OutlinedButton(
                  child: Text("Logout"),
                  onPressed: () {
                    _logout();
                  },
                ),
                OutlinedButton(
                  child: Text("Export CSV"),
                  onPressed: () {
                  },
                ),
              ],
            )
                : Center(
              child: OutlinedButton(
                child: Text("Login with Facebook"),
                onPressed: () {
                  _loginWithFB();
                },
              ),
            )),
      ),
    );
  }
}

So now I want to use the CSV controller file in the main class as to export the csv file which contains the user data.

Step 1: Just add these two functions in your Csvcontroller class

 static List<List<dynamic>> getCsvListFromUserProfilesMap(
      List<Map<String, dynamic>> userProfiles) {
    List<List<dynamic>> csvDataRows = [];
    List<dynamic> headerRow = ["id", "name", "email", "hometown"];
    csvDataRows.add(headerRow);

    userProfiles.forEach((userProfile) {
      List<dynamic> dataRow = [
        userProfile["id"],
        userProfile["name"],
        userProfile["email"],
        userProfile["hometown"] ?? 'Hometown: empty'
      ];
      csvDataRows.add(dataRow);
    });
    return csvDataRows;
  }

  static List<List<dynamic>> getCsvListFromUserProfileMap(
      Map<String, dynamic> userProfile) {
    List<List<dynamic>> csvDataRows = [];
    List<dynamic> headerRow = ["id", "name", "email", "hometown"];
    csvDataRows.add(headerRow);

    List<dynamic> dataRow = [
      userProfile["id"],
      userProfile["name"],
      userProfile["email"],
      userProfile["hometown"] ?? 'Hometown: empty'
    ];
    csvDataRows.add(dataRow);
    return csvDataRows;
  }

Step 2: Just add the following code to your export CSV button.

//don't forget to import the CsvController file in the main
For example or testing purpose,

//Initialize these variables in your code
 var userProfile = [
    {
      "id": 123,
      "name": "User 1",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "homeTown": "city1"
    },
  ];

  var userProfiles = [
    {
      "id": 123,
      "name": "User 1",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "homeTown": "city1"
    },
    {
      "id": 1234,
      "name": "User 2",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "homeTown": "city2"
    },
  ];


 onPressed: () {

//if you just want to export only one profile
var userCsvData = CsvController.getCsvListFromUserProfileMap(userProfile);
var csvFile = await CsvController.getCsvFromList(userCsvData);
if(csvFile != null){
    print("File created here :"+csvFile.path);
}else{
    print("file not created");
}

//if you just want to export only multiple profiles
var userCsvData = CsvController.getCsvListFromUserProfilesMap(userProfiles);
var csvFile = await CsvController.getCsvFromList(userCsvData);
if(csvFile != null){
    print("File created here :"+csvFile.path);
}else{
    print("file not created");
}
                  },
