toString method

  1. @override
String toString()
override

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() {
  String selfData =
      "[$name] ${children.length} ${elementClasses.isNotEmpty == true ? 'C:${elementClasses.toString()}' : ''}${elementId.isNotEmpty == true ? 'ID: $elementId' : ''}";
  children.forEach((child) {
    selfData += ("\n${child.toString()}")
        .replaceAll(RegExp("^", multiLine: true), "-");
  });
  return selfData;
}
