verify if a file exists in dart cloudinary

by

I have some difficulties finding if an image/video exists in my Cloudinary media.

I’m using Dart (cli project) and the documentation recommended packages: cloudinary_api, cloudinary_url_gen

the following code works with the publicId but not with the image name.

 static bool imageExists({String publicId = ''}) {
    try {
      if (!_isInitialized) {
        init();
      }

        // TODO: figure out a way to get the image by its name instead.
        final CldImage cldImage = cloudinary.image(publicId);

        print(cldImage);

      // cldImage.
      return false;
    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
      rethrow;
    }
  }

I have implemented a singleton class you can find the whole implementation here:

I have a constraint where I can’t directly store the image publicId and there’s very little documentation within the lib, and the official Cloudinary Documentation for dart is quite outdated as well. this complicates the task a lot…

  • can you clarify what you mean when you say it works with publicId but not image name? Can you send some examples and the error you receive?
