toString method

@override 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

@override
String toString() {
  var topRecipeRep = _prettyRepOf(topRecipe, "...");
  var containedRecipeRep = _prettyRepOf(containedRecipe, "...");
  var fullRep = _prettyRepOf(topRecipe, "...$containedRecipeRep...");
  var detailsStr = (details != null)? " ($details)" : "";
  return "Invalid regex configuration `$fullRep`: `$topRecipeRep` cannot contain `$containedRecipeRep$detailsStr";
}
