toString method

  1. @override
String toString({
  1. bool background = false,
})
override

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({bool background = false}) {
  if (xterm) {
    return '${Console.ANSI_ESCAPE}${background ? 38 : 48};5;${id}m';
  }

  if (bright) {
    return '${Console.ANSI_ESCAPE}1;${(background ? 40 : 30) + id}m';
  } else {
    return '${Console.ANSI_ESCAPE}0;${(background ? 40 : 30) + id}m';
  }
}
