Movie.fromJson constructor

Implementation

factory Movie.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
  // Helper function to safely parse release date.

  DateTime parseReleaseDate(dynamic dateValue) {
    if (dateValue == null || dateValue.toString().isEmpty) {
      // Default to current date if no release date.

      return DateTime.now();
    }

    try {
      return DateTime.parse(dateValue.toString());
    } catch (e) {
      // If parsing fails, return current date as fallback.

      return DateTime.now();
    }
  }

  return Movie(
    id: json['id'] ?? 0,

    overview: json['overview'] ?? '',
    posterUrl: TmdbImageUtil.getPosterUrl(json['poster_path'] ?? ''),

    voteAverage: (json['vote_average'] as num?)?.toDouble() ?? 0.0,
