toJson method

  1. @override
Map<String, dynamic> toJson({
  1. OptimizeFor optimizeFor = OptimizeFor.put,
})
override

Converts this object into JSON format.

optimizeFor lets the program know what information to include in the JSON data map.

  • OptimizeFor.put (the default value) is used when making a data map that is being placed in a PUT request. This only includes data that has changed.
  • OptimizeFor.putFull is used when a parent object updates; so, all of the children are required to be present for the PUT request.
  • OptimizeFor.post is used when making a data map for a POST request.
  • OptimizeFor.dontOptimize is used to get all of the data contained in this object.

Throws InvalidIdException if id is empty and optimizeFor is not set to OptimizeFor.dontOptimize.

Implementation

@override
Map<String, dynamic> toJson({OptimizeFor optimizeFor = OptimizeFor.put}) {
  // Validate [id].
  if (!identical(optimizeFor, OptimizeFor.dontOptimize)) {
    if (!Validators.isValidId(id)) {
      throw InvalidIdException.withValue(id);
    }
  }

  return {
    ApiFields.rid: id,
    ApiFields.rType: type.value,
  };
}
