How to create inline if without else case

Issue

Does Dart support a syntax to have an inline if without an else case? I sometimes find myself in a situation to create a flutter layout where this might be really helpful

new Row(children: <Widget>[
    new Text(item.name),
    item.name2 != null ? new Text(item.name2) : new Container(),
]

In this example the empty container is unnecessary so I was hoping for something like this:

new Row(children: <Widget>[
    new Text(item.name),
    item.name2 != null ? new Text(item.name2),
]

Solution

there is no inline if without else but in your case you're using if only to check only if it's null or not

dart have :

x = someVar ?? 0

here dart checks if someVar == null ? if true sets x value to 0, if false sets it to someVar value

but flutter will never let you add null to it's widget tree, so your can't use it in row/col
