Option<T>.safeCast constructor

Option<T>.safeCast(
  1. dynamic value
)

Safely cast a value to type T.

If value is not of type T, then return a None.

Less strict version of Option.safeCastStrict, since safeCast assumes the value to be dynamic.

Note: Make sure to specify the type of Option (Option<T>.safeCast instead of Option.safeCast), otherwise this will always return Some!

Implementation

// `dynamic`s are use for safe-casting
//ignore: avoid_annotating_with_dynamic
factory Option.safeCast(dynamic value) =>
    Option.safeCastStrict<T, dynamic>(value);
