Error: Future isn’t a type

This error message indicates that there is an issue with the name of a type in your code. The error is specifically related to the “Future” type, which is usually used in asynchronous programming in languages like JavaScript or Dart.

The error suggests that the name “Future” is not recognized as a valid type. This could happen due to a few possible reasons:

1. The type “Future” is not imported or included in your project. In this case, you need to import the appropriate package or library that provides the “Future” type.
2. The type “Future” is misspelled or has a casing issue. Make sure the name is correctly spelled and has the proper casing (e.g., “Future” instead of “future” or “FUTURE”).
3. The type “Future” is not defined in your codebase. If you intend to use the “Future” type, ensure that it is properly defined or declared. For example, in Dart, you might need to import the “dart:async” package to access the “Future” type.

Here’s an example in Dart that demonstrates the correct usage of the “Future” type:

import 'dart:async';

void main() {
  Future<String> fetchData() {
    return Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 2), () => 'Data fetched successfully!');
  }
  
  fetchData().then((data) {
    print(data);
  }).catchError((error) {
    print('Error occurred: $error');
  });
}
  

In the above example, the code imports the necessary “dart:async” package to access the “Future” type. It defines a function called “fetchData()” that returns a Future object. The Future.delayed constructor is used to simulate an asynchronous operation that fetches some data after a delay of 2 seconds. The main function calls “fetchData()” and handles the returned future using “then()” and “catchError()” methods.

Ensure that you have correctly addressed any of the above-mentioned reasons for the error, and the “Future” type should work as expected in your code.
