toJson method

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

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.

Implementation

Map<String, dynamic> toJson({OptimizeFor optimizeFor = OptimizeFor.put}) {
  // PUT
  if (identical(optimizeFor, OptimizeFor.put)) {
    Map<String, dynamic> toReturn = {};

    if (xy != _originalXy) {
      toReturn[ApiFields.color] = {
        ApiFields.xy: xy.toJson(optimizeFor: OptimizeFor.putFull)
      };
    }

    if (dimming != _originalDimming) {
      toReturn[ApiFields.dimming] =
          dimming.toJson(optimizeFor: OptimizeFor.putFull);
    }

    return toReturn;
  }

  // DEFAULT
  return {
    ApiFields.color: {ApiFields.xy: xy.toJson(optimizeFor: optimizeFor)},
    ApiFields.dimming: dimming.toJson(optimizeFor: optimizeFor),
  };
}
