TypeLink class

An abstraction over pointing to a type in a given Dart source file.

In package:source_gen (and elsewhere) we sometimes refer to types by URL, such as dart:core#String. This breaks down once there is a generic type, such as List<String>.

TypeLink is a way to represent this type so it may be used for codegen.

Constructors

TypeLink(String symbol, String? import, {List<TypeLink> generics = const [], bool isNullable = false}): const

Properties

generics → List<TypeLink>: Generic types, used to represent types such as List<String>.

hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
no setteroverride
import → String?: Import path needed to refer to this type. May be null for none needed.
final
isDynamic → bool: Whether this is considered dynamic.
no setter
isNullable → bool: Whether this type is suffixed explicitly with ?.
final
isPrivate → bool: Whether this is a private type.
no setter
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
