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() {
  var authorId = this.author.userId;
  return 'ChatMessage{'
      'id: $id, '
      'text: $text,'
      'author: $authorId,'
      'mediaAttachments: $attachments,'
      'properties: $properties,'
      'sentAt: $sentAt,'
      '}';
}
