Compile process does not recognize FF own functions

[bitgandtter]

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

For project https://app.flutterflow.io/project/snout-zone-zrnm87 function called deserializePetFromJSON that internally uses

serializers.deserializeWith(PetsRecord.serializer, data)
where serializers its exported from ../../backend/backend.dart but for some reason even when the code editor recognizes it as valid the compiler does not.

It's important to use to be able to convert a JSON response into a DataType object

Expected Behavior

Recognize and compile successfully

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a project
2. setup firebase + configure a database
3. create a custom function and try to use serializers.deserializeWith(.serializer, data)

Reproducible from Blank

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

Context

Dealing with API JSON and its paths is complicated. If we can map JSON response to existing datatypes will speed up the design process on a 100% bases + ensure that the data is strong type validated

You can't use source code FF inside a custom function you can only use it inside custom action or widget. this is a known issue for the FF team. We are still expecting that to be fixed in the future.

[bitgandtter]

But there is or there is not a solution coming in the near future. at leas for my ORG this will be a deal breaker

@bitgandtter yeah I got that, that's why I marked that as a FF issue as if you ask me the same logic should work for all custom code regardless if it is a custom function action or widget. But keep in mind this was like that since the release of FF so don't expect to be changed in the near feature.
