when<TResult extends Object?> method

@optionalTypeArgs TResult when<TResult extends Object?>(TResult $default(String? name, String? path, String? content, String? sha, String? type, String? encoding, String? patch, String? status, @refParam GithubUserModelRef? committer, int size, int additionsCount, int deletionsCount, int changesCount, ModelUri? rawUrl, ModelUri? blobUrl, ModelUri? htmlUrl, ModelUri? gitUrl, ModelUri? downloadUrl, @jsonParam List<GithubContentModel>? children, bool fromServer,))

A switch-like method, using callbacks.

As opposed to map, this offers destructuring. It is equivalent to doing:

switch (sealedClass) {
  case Subclass(:final field):
    return ...;
  case Subclass2(:final field2):
    return ...;
}
