Flutter: Get the filename of a File

I thought this would be pretty straight-forward, but can't seem to get this. I have a `File file` and it has a path `file.path` which spits out something like `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/my_app/files/Pictures/ca04f332.png` but I can't seem to find anything to get just `ca04f332.png`.

File file = new File("/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/my_app/files/Pictures/ca04f332.png");
String fileName = file.path.split('/').last;

print(fileName);

output = ca04f332.png

You can use the [`basename`][1] function from the dart [path library][2]:

import 'package:path/path.dart';

File file = new File("/dir1/dir2/file.ext");
String basename = basename(file.path);
# file.ext

Easy way to get name or any other file handling operations.I recommend to use this plugin :

[To see links please register here]

main() {
String filename= FileSupport().getFileNameWithoutExtension(<File Object>);
}

#### Direct way:

```dart
File file = File('/foo/bar/baz/my_image.jpg');
String fileName = file.path.split(Platform.pathSeparator).last; // my_image.jpg
```

---

#### Using an extension:

**1. Create an extension:**

```dart
extension FileEx on File {
String get name => path.split(Platform.pathSeparator).last;
}
```

**2. Usage:**

```dart
File file = File('/foo/bar/baz/my_image.jpg');
String fileName = file.name; // my_image.jpg
```

You cane use extension method **No need to use any package**

**Create Method like this**

extension FileNameExtension on File {
String getFileName() {
String fileName = path.split('/').last;
return fileName;
}
}

**implement**

File file = File("yourpath/example.pdf");
file.getFileName() // result => example.pdf

Since Dart Version `2.6` has been announced and it's available for flutter version `1.12` and higher, You can use `extension` methods. It will provide a more readable and global solution to this problem.

`file_extensions.dart` :
```
import 'dart:io';

extension FileExtention on FileSystemEntity{
String get name {
return this?.path?.split(Platform.pathSeparator)?.last;
}
}
```
and `name` getter is added to all the file objects. You can simply just call `name` on any file.
```
main() {
File file = new File("/dev/dart/work/hello/app.dart");
print(file.name);
}
```
Read the [document][1] for more information.

**Note:**
Since `extension` is a new feature, it's not fully integrated into IDEs yet and it may not be recognized automatically. You have to import your `extension` manually wherever you need that. Just make sure the extension file is imported:
```
import 'package:<your_extention_path>/file_extentions.dart';
```
