toString method

@override String toString()

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() {
  final res = StringBuffer();
  final props = getProperties();
  final subComponents = getSubComponents();
  res.writeln("BEGIN:${componentName.toUpperCase()}");
  res.writeAll(props, "\n");
  if (props.isNotEmpty) res.write("\n");
  res.writeAll(subComponents);
  res.writeln("END:${componentName.toUpperCase()}");
  return res.toString();
}
