equals method

@override bool equals(FluentNode other, { bool ignoreSpans = true, })

Structural equality.

When ignoreSpans is true (the default), two ASTs from differently- positioned sources compare equal as long as their structure matches — useful for testing parser output against expected shapes regardless of whitespace placement. Set false for a strict, position-aware comparison that requires every Span to match.

Implementation

@override
bool equals(FluentNode other, {bool ignoreSpans = true}) {
  if (other is! Term) return false;
  if (!id.equals(other.id, ignoreSpans: ignoreSpans)) return false;
  if (!value.equals(other.value, ignoreSpans: ignoreSpans)) return false;
  if (attributes.length != other.attributes.length) return false;
  for (var i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++) {
    if (!attributes[i].equals(
      other.attributes[i],
      ignoreSpans: ignoreSpans,
    )) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  if ((comment == null) != (other.comment == null)) return false;
  if (comment != null &&
      !comment!.equals(other.comment!, ignoreSpans: ignoreSpans)) {
    return false;
  }
  return _spansEqual(span, other.span, ignoreSpans: ignoreSpans);
}
