toString method

  1. @override
String toString()
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() {
  if (Platform.isMacOS) {
    return '$hostname ($iPAddress) at $macAddress on $interfaceName ifscope [$interfaceType]';
  } else if (Platform.isLinux) {
    return '$hostname ($iPAddress) at $macAddress [$interfaceType] on $interfaceName';
  } else if (Platform.isWindows) {
    return 'Internet Address: $iPAddress, Physical Address: $macAddress, Type: $interfaceType';
  }
  return '$hostname ($iPAddress) at $macAddress on $interfaceName type [$interfaceType]';
}
