toString method

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

String toString() {
  var buffer = StringBuffer("@mixin $name");
  if (!arguments.isEmpty) buffer.write("($arguments)");
  buffer.write(" {${children.join(' ')}}");
  return buffer.toString();
}
