Is it possible to return an anonymous function that returns a widget from a ternary in Dart?

In Flutter the pattern of using a ternary to conditionally return a widget is common. However I also find myself wanting to be able to run logic before returning a widget on one side of the evaluation.

Something like

condition ? Text("") : (){... some logic; return Text("Hello")}

However it seems this isn’t possible with Dart’s syntax, or I can’t figure out how to do it.

I know the Builder widget can be used in this scenario but it seems overkill to use an entire Builder widget just to do this

>Solution :

You can use an anonymous function by actually executing it also by following it by (), so for example this is possible:

  Widget test(bool condition) {
    return condition ? Text("") : (){print('yes'); return Text("Hello");}();
  }
