sizeHint method

  1. @override
int sizeHint(
  1. List<A> value
)
override

If possible give a hint of expected size of the encoding.

This method is used inside default implementation of encode to avoid re-allocations.

Implementation

@override
int sizeHint(List<A> value) {
  assertion(value.length == size, 'Invalid list length');
  var byteSize = 0;
  for (A element in value) {
    byteSize += codec.sizeHint(element);
  }
  return byteSize;
}
