toString method

  1. @override
String toString()
override

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static parse function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override toString to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

Implementation

@override
String toString() {
  var leading = '';
  if (from != null) {
    leading = '($argument)';
  }

  String label;
  if (name case final name?) {
    label = name;
  } else {
    label = describeIdentity(this);
  }

  return '$label$leading';
}
