DiffEquality class abstract

Dart makes it difficult to pass function pointers across isolates. DiffEquality provides a concrete implementation of equality comparators that can be used safely across isolate boundaries.

Keep in mind that any implementation of DiffDelegate cannot itself have any member properties or sub-properties that are function pointers.

This library also provides two interfaces that can be applied to the diff inputs themselves: Diffable can be used when the objects being diffed can be passed across isolate boundaries. DiffDelegate can be used when the objects cannot be passed across isolate boundaries.

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Methods

areEqual(dynamic a, dynamic b) bool
Determines whether two records have the same state. See areIdentical for a check that two records represent the same resource.
areIdentical(dynamic a, dynamic b) bool
Whether the two items being compared have the same identity, for example two records with the same primary key. This check is used to determine if an item should be removed or added to a list, rather than updated.
hash(dynamic a) int
Creates a combined hash code for a number of objects.
override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toString() String
A string representation of this object.

Operators
