# List<E>.from constructor

List<E>.from(

1. Iterable elements, {
2. bool growable = true,

})

Creates a list containing all `elements`.

The Iterator of `elements` provides the order of the elements.

All the `elements` should be instances of `E`.

Example:

    final numbers = <num>[1, 2, 3];
    final listFrom = List<int>.from(numbers);
    print(listFrom); // [1, 2, 3]

The `elements` iterable itself may have any element type, so this constructor can be used to down-cast a `List`, for example as:

    const jsonArray = '''
      [{"text": "foo", "value": 1, "status": true},
       {"text": "bar", "value": 2, "status": false}]
    ''';
    final List<dynamic> dynamicList = jsonDecode(jsonArray);
    final List<Map<String, dynamic>> fooData =
        List.from(dynamicList.where((x) => x is Map && x['text'] == 'foo'));
    print(fooData); // [{text: foo, value: 1, status: true}]

This constructor creates a growable list when `growable` is true; otherwise, it returns a fixed-length list.

## Implementation

    external factory List.from(Iterable elements, {bool growable = true});
