在 Dart 中合并两个对象列表

我有具有参数名称和参数计数器的对象。这些对象存储在列表中。我的列表中的某些项目具有重复的参数“名称”。我想删除列表内的重复项，并将该重复项的计数器添加到重复对象参数中。

class Person{ 
Person({this.name, this.counter)};
  String name;
  int counter;
}

List<Person> theList = [];

theList.add(Person(name:"Ben", counter: 2);
theList.add(Person(name:"Ben", counter: 5);

//I need a function that changes the List to show Ben with counter 7

class Person{ 
  final String name;
  int counter;
  Person({required this.name, required this.counter});
}

extension on List<Person> {
  void addPerson({required String name, required int counter}) {
    if (isNotEmpty) {
      try {
        var person = firstWhere((p) => p.name == name);
        person.counter += counter;
      } catch(e) { 
        add(Person(name:name, counter: counter));
      }
    } else {
      add(Person(name:name, counter: counter));
    }
  }
}

void main() {
  var theList = <Person>[];

  theList.addPerson(name:"Lucho", counter: 4);
  theList.addPerson(name:"Ben", counter: 2);
  theList.addPerson(name:"Ben", counter: 5);  
  
  print(theList);
  print(theList.length);
  print("${theList[1].name} - ${theList[1].counter}");  
}

Result:

[Instance of 'Person', Instance of 'Person']
2
Ben - 7
