API JSON Path Configuration

[adamrUK84]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

Since last FF update, named JSON paths for API calls where the JSON path includes a dash are being reported as an error.

Expected Behavior

Prior to the last FF update this was working and schema of the JSON has not changed.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an API call with JSON path that include a dash
Paths do not appear in Recommended list (or if API already saved previously named paths create an error)

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

In the API call itself you can also see a partial error message:

I have encountered the same issue, I'm not able to deploy my app anymore since FlutterFlow reports this as a bug when using a "-" in an API call.

Hi @bulgariamitko @katherineqian, do you have an estimate of how long it will take to fix this bug please as it is preventing me from testing and has impacted my published app?

[bulgariamitko]

@adamrUK84 , sorry I do not work for FF so I can't tell.

Hi @adamrUK84
I created this custom function to solve this issue temporally.
Hope it helps.

String getJsonValueWithHyphen(
String key,
dynamic json,
) {
/// MODIFY CODE ONLY BELOW THIS LINE

return json[key];

/// MODIFY CODE ONLY ABOVE THIS LINE
}

Hi @juanpenuelas how would this work for lists?
Thanks already for your help!

This actually is the expected behavior according to dchester/jsonpath#27 (comment):

To reference a member whose identifier contains a dash, use subscript and quoted string e.g., $.status['dev-01']

However, for compatibility, in the next update we will revert json_path, which we use for validating json paths, to a previous version that allows dashes.
