readAsString method

Future<String> readAsString([
  1. Encoding? encoding
])
inherited

Returns a Future containing the body as a String.

If encoding is passed, that's used to decode the body. Otherwise the encoding is taken from the Content-Type header. If that doesn't exist or doesn't have a "charset" parameter, UTF-8 is used.

This calls read internally, which can only be called once.

Implementation

Future<String> readAsString([Encoding? encoding]) {
  encoding ??= this.encoding ?? utf8;
  return encoding.decodeStream(read());
}
