Ok, found it, it’s just how to instantiate it:
List<MyClass> _files = [];
Edit: maybe the most common ones, a bit more detailed according to the docs:
Fixed-length list of size 0:
List<MyClass> _list = List<MyClass>.empty();
Growable list:
List<MyClass> _list = [];
//or
List<MyClass> _list = List<MyClass>.empty(growable: true);
Fixed length with predefined fill:
int length = 3;
String fill = "test";
List<String> _list = List<String>.filled(length, fill, growable: true);
// => ["test", "test", "test"]
List with generate function:
int length = 3;
MyClass myFun(int idx) => MyClass(id: idx);
List<MyClass> _list = List.generate(length, myFun, growable: true);
// => [Instance of 'MyClass', Instance of 'MyClass', Instance of 'MyClass']
