TypeDefinition class
Contains information about the type of fields, arguments and return values.
Constructors
- 
          TypeDefinition({required String className, List<TypeDefinition> generics = const [], required bool nullable, String? url, DartType? dartType, bool customClass = false, EnumDefinition? enumDefinition, SerializableModelDefinition? projectModelDefinition, String? recordFieldName, int? vectorDimension})
- TypeDefinition.fromDartType(DartType type, {String? recordFieldName})
- 
          Creates an TypeDefinition from a given DartType. throwsFromDartTypeClassNameExceptionif the class name could not be determined.factory

          TypeDefinition.mixedUrlAndClassName({required String mixed, List<TypeDefinition> generics = const [], required bool nullable, bool customClass = false, int? vectorDimension})
- 
          Creates an TypeDefinition from mixedwhere the url and className is separated by ':'.factory

Methods
- 
  applyProtocolReferences(List< SerializableModelDefinition> classDefinitions) → TypeDefinition
- Applies protocol references. This makes the protocol: prefix optional. First, the protocol definition is parsed, then it's check for the protocol: prefix in types. Whenever no url is set and user specified a class/enum with the same symbol name it defaults to the protocol: prefix.
- 
  asNamedRecordField(String recordFieldName) → TypeDefinition 
- Returns this TypeDefinition as a named record field
- 
  generateDeserialization(bool serverCode, {required GeneratorConfig config}) → List< MapEntry< Expression, Code> >
- Generates the constructors for List and Map types
- 
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic 
- 
  Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
  inherited
- 
  reference(bool serverCode, {bool? nullable, List< String> subDirParts = const [], required GeneratorConfig config, String? typeSuffix}) → Reference
- 
  Generate a Referencefrom this definition.
- 
  retrieveGenericType() → TypeDefinition 
- Retrieves the generic from this type. Throws a FormatException if no generic is found.
- 
  toString() → String 
- 
  A string representation of this object.
  override
Operators
- 
  operator ==(Object other) → bool 
- 
  The equality operator.
