Properties

arguments → ArgumentList?
Return the arguments to the constructor being invoked, or null if this annotation is not the invocation of a constructor.
no setter
atSign → Token
Return the at sign that introduced the annotation.
no setter
beginToken → Token
Return the first token included in this node's source range.
no setterinherited
childEntities → Iterable<SyntacticEntity>
Return an iterator that can be used to iterate through all the entities (either AST nodes or tokens) that make up the contents of this node, including doc comments but excluding other comments.
no setterinherited
constructorName → SimpleIdentifier?
Return the name of the constructor being invoked, or null if this annotation is not the invocation of a named constructor.
no setter
element → Element?
Return the element associated with this annotation, or null if the AST structure has not been resolved or if this annotation could not be resolved.
no setter
elementAnnotation → ElementAnnotation?
Return the element annotation representing this annotation in the element model; null when the AST has not been resolved.
no setter
end → int
Return the offset of the character immediately following the last character of this node's source range.
no setterinherited
endToken → Token
Return the last token included in this node's source range.
no setterinherited
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isSynthetic → bool
Return true if this node is a synthetic node.
no setterinherited
length → int
Return the number of characters in the syntactic entity's source range.
no setterinherited
name → Identifier
Return the name of the class defining the constructor that is being invoked or the name of the field that is being referenced.
no setter
offset → int
Return the offset from the beginning of the file to the first character in the syntactic entity.
no setterinherited
parent → AstNode
Return this node's parent node, or null if this node is the root of an AST structure.
no setteroverride
period → Token?
Return the period before the constructor name, or null if this annotation is not the invocation of a named constructor.
no setter
root → AstNode
Return the node at the root of this node's AST structure.
no setterinherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
typeArguments → TypeArgumentList?
Returns the type arguments to the constructor being invoked, or null if (a) this annotation is not the invocation of a constructor or (b) this annotation does not specify type arguments explicitly.
no setter

Methods

accept<E>(AstVisitor<E> visitor) → E?
Use the given visitor to visit this node.
inherited
findPrevious(Token target) → Token?
Return the token before target or null if it cannot be found.
inherited
getProperty<E>(String name) → E?
Return the value of the property with the given name, or null if this node does not have a property with the given name.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
setProperty(String name, Object? value) → void
Set the value of the property with the given name to the given value. If the value is null, the property will effectively be removed.
inherited
thisOrAncestorMatching<E extends AstNode>(bool predicate(AstNode)) → E?
Return either this node or the most immediate ancestor of this node for which the predicate returns true, or null if there is no such node.
inherited
thisOrAncestorOfType<E extends AstNode>() → E?
Return either this node or the most immediate ancestor of this node that has the given type, or null if there is no such node.
inherited
toSource() → String
Return a textual description of this node in a form approximating valid source.
inherited
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
visitChildren(AstVisitor visitor) → void
Use the given visitor to visit all of the children of this node.
