toString method

  1. @override
String toString({
  1. String yearSuffix = '-',
  2. String monthSuffix = '',
})
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({String yearSuffix = '-', String monthSuffix = ''}) {
  String y = fourDigits(year);
  String m = twoDigits(month);
  return "$y$yearSuffix$m$monthSuffix";
}
