如何等待类初始化？

Question

我有一个类，calendar，它从一个文件异步读取。

import 'event.dart'; 

/// Class deals with the school-wide calendar Calendar. 
class Calendar { 
    /// The days off in the year. 
    List<Event> daysOff = new List<Event>(); 

    /// The half-days, not necessarily days off. 
    List<Event> halfDays = new List<Event>(); 

    /// Vacations, extended days off. 
    List<Event> vactations = new List<Event>(); 

    DateTime schoolStart; 
    DateTime schoolEnd; 
    DateTime schoolMaxEnd; 

    Calendar() { 
    _addDaysOff(); 
    // _addHalfDays(); 
    // _addVacations(); 
    // _addTimes(); 
    } 

    static const String filePath = "assets/calendar/"; 

    /// Reads a JSON File specified by the Arguments and returns a Decoded Object. 
    Future<List<Map<String, String>>> _readJson(String fileName) async => 
     await JSON.decode(await rootBundle.loadString(filePath + fileName)); 

    Future _addDaysOff() async { 
    const String fileName = "days_off.json"; 
    final List<Map<String, String>> parsed = await _readJson(fileName); 

    for (final Map<String, String> item in parsed) { 
     Event event = new Event(item["name"], DateTime.parse(item["date"])); 
     daysOff.add(event); 
    } 
    } 
} 

这工作正常，但是当我想运行一个简单的测试时出现问题。

// Copyright 2017 <Abhi Agarwal>

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; 

import 'definitions/calendar/calendar.dart'; 

void main() { 
    Calendar myCalendar = new Calendar(); 
    runApp(new Center(child: new Text(myCalendar.daysOff[0].name))); 
} 

随着flutter run，我得到RangeError (index): Invalid value: Valid value range is empty: 0。这是有道理的，List在初始化时只有元素。问题是，我怎么能在那里放置一个占位符，直到数据加载完毕？

可以重构Calendar类暴露出Future即完成当Calendar准备使用：

// Private constructor, use create() to get an instance 
Calendar._(); 

// Future that completes when the new Calendar is ready to use 
static Future<Calendar> create() async { 
    Calendar calendar = Calendar._(); 
    await calendar._addDaysOff(); 
    // await calendar._addHalfDays(); 
    // await calendar._addVacations(); 
    // await calendar._addTimes(); 
    return calendar; 
} 

然后你可以await的Future，如：

main() async { 
    Calendar myCalendar = await Calendar.create(); 
    runApp(new Center(child: new Text(myCalendar.daysOff[0].name))); 
} 

你可以如果要将日历实例化为StatefulWidget某处，请等待Calendar使用FutureBuilder进行初始化先在你的Flutter小部件树中播放，而不是让它存在于根目录下。
