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 = {};
    Map<String, dynamic> toReturnInner = {};

    if (kind != _originalKind) {
      toReturn[ApiFields.kind] = kind;
    }

    if (hour != _originalHour) {
      toReturnInner[ApiFields.hour] = hour;
    }

    if (minute != _originalMinute) {
      toReturnInner[ApiFields.minute] = minute;
    }

    if (second != _originalSecond) {
      toReturnInner[ApiFields.second] = second;
    }

    if (toReturnInner.isNotEmpty) {
      toReturn[ApiFields.time] = toReturnInner;
    }

    return toReturn;
  }

  // DEFAULT
  return {
    ApiFields.kind: kind,
    ApiFields.time: {
      ApiFields.hour: hour,
      ApiFields.minute: minute,
      ApiFields.second: second,
    },
  };
}
