when<TResult extends Object?> method

  1. @optionalTypeArgs
TResult when<TResult extends Object?>(
  1. TResult $default(
    1. String? summary,
    2. String? description,
    3. dynamic value,
    4. String? externalValue,
    5. String? ref,
    )
)

A switch-like method, using callbacks.

As opposed to map, this offers destructuring. It is equivalent to doing:

switch (sealedClass) {
  case Subclass(:final field):
    return ...;
  case Subclass2(:final field2):
    return ...;
}

Implementation

@optionalTypeArgs TResult when<TResult extends Object?>(TResult Function( String? summary,  String? description,  dynamic value,  String? externalValue, @JsonKey(name: '\$ref')@_ExampleRefConverter()  String? ref)  $default,) {final _that = this;
switch (_that) {
case ExampleObject():
return $default(_that.summary,_that.description,_that.value,_that.externalValue,_that.ref);case _:
  throw StateError('Unexpected subclass');

}
}
