How to specify Future type correctly












0















I'm trying to figure out how to specify types in code like this:



import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

main() async {
Map repos = await(fetchJson());
print(repos['name']);
}

Object fetchJson() async {
final uri = 'https://api.github.com/users/sjindel-google/repos';
final response = await http.get(uri);
return jsonDecode(response.body)[1];
}


That code works, but I want to specify the type for fetchJson(). It seems like it should be:



Future<Map> fetchJson() async {


But that gives me the runtime error:



Error: 'Future' expects 0 type arguments.


What's the right way to do this?

    Never mind. I forgot to import 'dart:async'. Not a helpful error message.

    Soon importing dart:async for Future or Stream won't be necessary anymore.
