So I created a custom class and I'm trying to build it with data from Firebase.

I get a Map<dynamic> from firebase and tease it apart with .map() and returning Lists instances of class SocialLink (working merely as a struct).

here's the code

void onProjectValue(void callback(List<Project> projects)){
    this.dbRef.child('threads').limitToLast(40).onValue.listen((Event event){
      List<Project> projects = [];
      Map result = event.snapshot.value;

      result.forEach((id, projectData){
        projects.add(
          new Project(
            id: int.parse(id),
            title: projectData['thread-scrape']['subject'],
            iconUrl: 'http://192.168.1.120:8080/services/twitter.png',
            tags: projectData['thread-scrape']['tags'].values.map<String>( (value){
              return '$value';
            }).toList(),  // does this work? yes
            links: projectData['links-scrape'].entries.map<SocialLink>( (entry)=>
              SocialLink(
                iconUrl: this.socialUrls[entry.key], 
                linkUrl: entry.value
              )).toList(), // does this work? no!
            views: projectData['thread-scrape']['views']

          )
        );
      }); 

      return callback(projects);
    });
  }

Problem is I get this error (stack trace)
