toString method

@override String toString()

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() {
  final buffer = StringBuffer();
  buffer.writeln("-----------\n- Status code is $statusCode");
  buffer.writeln("- Headers are the following:");

  final headerItems = headers.toString().split("\n");
  headerItems.removeWhere((str) => str == "");
  headerItems.forEach((header) {
    buffer.writeln("  - $header");
  });

  if (!body.isEmpty) {
    buffer.writeln("Decoded body is:");
    buffer.writeln(body.toString());
  } else {
    buffer.writeln("- Body is empty");
  }
  buffer.writeln("-------------------------");

  return buffer.toString();
}
