runtime_type library

A non-opaque representation of types at runtime.

Normally, Type objects are opaque and cannot be used for actual logic. RuntimeType allows for operations such as sub- or super-type checking, type checks, and casting using a variable instead of a literal.

To use, replace your type literals with calls to the RuntimeType constructor:

// Before
final stringType = String;
// After
final stringType = RuntimeType<String>();

Classes

RuntimeType<T>

A non-opaque representation of a Type that can be used at runtime.
