getMatch static method

MailAddress? getMatch(List<MailAddress> searchForList, List<MailAddress>? searchInList, { bool handlePlusAliases = false, bool removeMatch = false, bool useMatchPersonalName = false, })

Searches the searchForList addresses in the searchInList list.

Set handlePlusAliases to true in case plus aliases should be checked. Set removeMatch to true in case the matching address should be removed from the searchInList list. Set useMatchPersonalName to true to return the personal name from the searchInList in the returned match. By default the personal name is retrieved from the matching entry in searchForList.

Implementation

static MailAddress? getMatch(
  List<MailAddress> searchForList,
  List<MailAddress>? searchInList, {
  bool handlePlusAliases = false,
  bool removeMatch = false,
  bool useMatchPersonalName = false,
}) {
  for (final searchFor in searchForList) {
    final searchForEmailAddress = searchFor.email.toLowerCase();
    if (searchInList != null && searchInList.isNotEmpty) {
      MailAddress match;
      for (var i = 0; i < searchInList.length; i++) {
        final potentialMatch = searchInList[i];
        final matchAddress = getMatchingEmail(
          searchForEmailAddress,
          potentialMatch.email.toLowerCase(),
          allowPlusAlias: handlePlusAliases,
        );
        if (matchAddress != null) {
          match = useMatchPersonalName
              ? potentialMatch
              : MailAddress(searchFor.personalName, matchAddress);
          if (removeMatch) {
            searchInList.removeAt(i);
          }

          return match;
        }
      }
    }
  }

  return null;
