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() {
  if (end != null) {
    assert(start != null && start! <= end!, 'start must be less than end!');
  }

  final b = CommandBuilder(type)
      .number(index)
      .when(
        fromType != null,
        then: '$fromType $fromSource $fromPath',
        prefix: type.contains('string') || fromType == null ? null : 'from ',
        otherwise: 'value $value',
      )
      .number(start)
      .number(end);

  return b.command;
}
