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 buffer = StringBuffer(name);

  if (arguments.isNotEmpty) {
    buffer.write('(');
    for (final argument in arguments) {
      buffer.write(argument.toString());

      if (argument != arguments[arguments.length - 1]) {
        buffer.write(', ');
      }
    }
    buffer.write(')');
  }

  return buffer.toString();
}
