reparseMessage<T extends GeneratedMessage> method

T reparseMessage<T extends GeneratedMessage>(T message)

Returns a shallow copy of message, with all extensions in this parsed from the unknown fields of message and of every nested submessage.

Extensions already present in message will be preserved.

If message is frozen, the result will be as well.

Returns the original message if no new extensions are parsed.

Throws an InvalidProtocolBufferException if the parsed extensions are malformed.

Using this method to retrieve extensions is more expensive overall than using an ExtensionRegistry with all the needed extensions when doing GeneratedMessage.fromBuffer.

Example:

sample.proto

syntax = "proto2";

message Foo {
  extensions 1 to max;
}

extend Foo {
  optional string val1 = 1;
  optional string val2 = 2;
}

main.dart

import 'package:protobuf/protobuf.dart';
import 'package:test/test.dart';
import 'src/generated/sample.pb.dart';

void main() {
  ExtensionRegistry r1 = ExtensionRegistry()..add(Sample.val1);
  ExtensionRegistry r2 = ExtensionRegistry()..add(Sample.val2);
  Foo original = Foo()..setExtension(Sample.val1, 'a')..setExtension(Sample.val2, 'b');
  Foo withUnknownFields = Foo.fromBuffer(original.writeToBuffer());
  Foo reparsed1 = r1.reparseMessage(withUnknownFields);
  Foo reparsed2 = r2.reparseMessage(reparsed1);
  expect(withUnknownFields.hasExtension(Sample.val1), isFalse);
  expect(withUnknownFields.hasExtension(Sample.val2), isFalse);
  expect(reparsed1.hasExtension(Sample.val1), isTrue);
  expect(reparsed1.hasExtension(Sample.val2), isFalse);
  expect(reparsed2.hasExtension(Sample.val1), isTrue);
  expect(reparsed2.hasExtension(Sample.val2), isTrue);
}

Implementation

T reparseMessage<T extends GeneratedMessage>(T message) =>
    _reparseMessage(message, this);
