stringify method

@override String stringify(dynamic object, { bool asStringLiteral = false, })

Marker for group start and end. Print an object to a string.

Implementation

@override
String stringify(dynamic object, {bool asStringLiteral = false}) {
  final output = StringBuffer();
  if (object is String) {
    if (asStringLiteral) {
      return "'$object'";
    } else {
      return object;
    }
  } else if (object is Iterable) {
    if (object.isEmpty) {
      return '$listStart$listEnd';
    }
    output.writeln(listStart);
    ++_curIndentCount;
    for (var i = 0; i < object.length; ++i) {
      final item = object.elementAt(i);
      output.write(_curIndent());
      final itemString = stringify(item, asStringLiteral: true);
      output.write(itemString);
      if (i < object.length - 1) {
        output.write(comma);
      }
      output.writeln();
    }
    --_curIndentCount;
