Variable class

A Variable is a name/value pair. The type attribute is shown if space permits or when hovering over the variable's name. The kind attribute is used to render additional properties of the variable, e.g. different icons can be used to indicate that a variable is public or private. If the value is structured (has children), a handle is provided to retrieve the children with the variables request. If the number of named or indexed children is large, the numbers should be returned via the namedVariables and indexedVariables attributes. The client can use this information to present the children in a paged UI and fetch them in chunks.

Constructors

Variable({String? evaluateName, int? indexedVariables, String? memoryReference, required String name, int? namedVariables, VariablePresentationHint? presentationHint, String? type, required String value, required int variablesReference})

Variable.fromMap(Map<String, Object?> obj)

Properties

evaluateName → String?

The evaluatable name of this variable which can be passed to the evaluate request to fetch the variable's value.

final

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

indexedVariables → int?

The number of indexed child variables. The client can use this information to present the children in a paged UI and fetch them in chunks.

final

memoryReference → String?

The memory reference for the variable if the variable represents executable code, such as a function pointer. This attribute is only required if the corresponding capability supportsMemoryReferences is true.

final

name → String

The variable's name.

final

namedVariables → int?

The number of named child variables. The client can use this information to present the children in a paged UI and fetch them in chunks.

final

presentationHint → VariablePresentationHint?

Properties of a variable that can be used to determine how to render the variable in the UI.

final

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

type → String?

The type of the variable's value. Typically shown in the UI when hovering over the value. This attribute should only be returned by a debug adapter if the corresponding capability supportsVariableType is true.

final

value → String

The variable's value. This can be a multi-line text, e.g. for a function the body of a function. For structured variables (which do not have a simple value), it is recommended to provide a one-line representation of the structured object. This helps to identify the structured object in the collapsed state when its children are not yet visible. An empty string can be used if no value should be shown in the UI.

final

variablesReference → int

If variablesReference is > 0, the variable is structured and its children can be retrieved by passing variablesReference to the variables request as long as execution remains suspended. See 'Lifetime of Object References' in the Overview section for details.

final

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

toJson() → Map<String, Object?>

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.

Static Methods

canParse(Object? obj) → bool

fromJson(Map<String, Object?> obj) → Variable
