Create an Object and encode data Flutter - object

Question

I'm working on a restaurant app and need help creating object to function as a cart that will hold live data but, I'm a little lost on this. This is what I've made so far:
class Cart {
int resId;
String productImage;
CartDetails orderDetails;
Cart(this.resId, this.orderDetails, this.productImage);
}
class CartDetails {
int productId;
int quantity;
CartDetails(this.productId, this.quantity);
}
Then in order to hold the data:
// //Cart Data
List<Cart> _cart = [];
List<Cart> get userCart => _cart;
Map<String, dynamic> orderDetail;
I add items to my object with this:
void addToCart(resId, proudctName, prodId, qty) {
orderDetail = {'prodId': prodId, 'quantity': qty};
try {
List<Map> list;
list.map((i) {
Cart i = Cart as Cart;
i.resId = resId;
i.productName = proudctName;
i.orderDetails.productId = prodId;
i.orderDetails.quantity = qty;
_cart.add(i);
}).toList();
print(_cart.toList());
} catch (e) {
print('Sumptin went wrong bruh');
print(e);
}
print(userCart);
}
then I bring them all together with this:
addToCart(widget.resId, widget.prodName, prodId, cartVal);
When I do that, I get an error :
NoSuchMethodError: The method 'map' was called on null.
Receiver: null
Tried calling: map<Null>(Closure: (Map<dynamic, dynamic>) => Null)
I'm not sure where to go from here to add all the items to the map and then access the data in different places within the app.

Suppose your json string look like this
{
"resId":123,
"productImage":"http",
"CartDetails" :
[
{"productId":1,
"quantity":2},
{"productId":3,
"quantity":4}
]
}
code snippet to create object , convert object to json and convert json string to object
List<CartDetail> listCart = [];
listCart.add(CartDetail(productId: 1, quantity: 2));
listCart.add(CartDetail(productId: 3, quantity: 4));
Payload payload = Payload(resId: 1, productImage: "", cartDetails: listCart);
print('${payload.cartDetails[0].productId.toString()}');
String payloadStr = payloadToJson(payload);
print('${payloadStr}');
final payload1 = payloadFromJson(jsonString);
print('${payload1.cartDetails[0].productId.toString()}');

// To parse this JSON data, do
//

import 'dart:convert';
Payload payloadFromJson(String str) => Payload.fromJson(json.decode(str));
String payloadToJson(Payload data) => json.encode(data.toJson());
class Payload {
int resId;
String productImage;
List<CartDetail> cartDetails;
Payload({
this.resId,
this.productImage,
this.cartDetails,
});
factory Payload.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Payload(
resId: json["resId"] == null ? null : json["resId"],
productImage: json["productImage"] == null ? null : json["productImage"],
cartDetails: json["CartDetails"] == null ? null : List<CartDetail>.from(json["CartDetails"].map((x) => CartDetail.fromJson(x))),
);
Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
"resId": resId == null ? null : resId,
"productImage": productImage == null ? null : productImage,
"CartDetails": cartDetails == null ? null : List<dynamic>.from(cartDetails.map((x) => x.toJson())),
};
}
class CartDetail {
int productId;
int quantity;
CartDetail({
this.productId,
this.quantity,
