API > Data Type > Generate Children - what am I missing?

Database & APIs
Resolved

I have an API call that runs logic for me to filter out documents by a reference and then return the remaining documents. The API is working and being received just fine by FlutterFlow, no issues there. Then, I take the API results from JSON and assign them to a custom data type (following the documentation from here) that gathers all of the results as a list. I then have a custom data type for the individual items. Now, on my front end page, I have a list view with the API call, and then I generate children from the API call onto the that list view. I then take the results from the children variables and bind them to the various UI elements. However, nothing displays despite seeing a successful API call, and no errors in the console. What am I missing?

If only we could filter backend queries with a document ID! ๐Ÿ˜’

What have you tried so far?
  • Verified the API call is being sent, processed, and received by FlutterFlow .

  • Verified the backend API is processing everything correctly and returning a properly structured JSON value.

  • Verified the custom data type formats match the API results (6 strings, 2 integers).

  • Verified that the values in the API call used to filter the query match the values in the database (user document ID).

  • Reviewed the documentation multiple times.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
