toString method

@override String toString()

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() {
  final result = StringBuffer(name);
  final parameters = this.parameters;
  if (parameters != null) {
    if (isSingleParam && parameters.isNotEmpty) {
      result
        ..write(' ')
        ..write(parameters[0]);
    } else if (parameters.isNotEmpty) {
      result
        ..write(' (')
        ..write(parameters.join(' '))
        ..write(')');
    }
  }

  return result.toString();
}
