when<TResult extends Object?> method

@optionalTypeArgs TResult when<TResult extends Object?>(TResult $default(String $type, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference follow, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference like, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference likeViaRepost, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference mention, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference quote, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference reply, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference repost, @FilterablePreferenceConverter() FilterablePreference repostViaRepost, @PreferenceConverter() Preference starterpackJoined, @PreferenceConverter() Preference subscribedPost, @PreferenceConverter() Preference unverified, @PreferenceConverter() Preference verified, Map<String, dynamic>? $unknown,))

A switch-like method, using callbacks.

As opposed to map, this offers destructuring. It is equivalent to doing:

switch (sealedClass) {
  case Subclass(:final field):
    return ...;
  case Subclass2(:final field2):
    return ...;
}
