SyntaxPrinter class

Converts a SyntaxElement into its JSON string representation.

Each SyntaxElement represents a particular kind of TextMate JSON object. This class simply provides methods for converting these objects into strings. print is primarily responsible for this conversion, and printToFile can be used to easily write the results to a file.

This class follows the singleton pattern, and the methods described above can be accessed via instance. This instance requires no additional setup and completely encapsulates the responsibilities of its encoder.

Properties

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

print(SyntaxElement element) → String

"Prints" a given element by converting it to a string containing its JSON representation. Each SyntaxElement represents a kind of JSON object, so passing any type of element is acceptable.

printToFile(SyntaxElement element, String path) → Future<void>

"Prints" a given element to a given file path. Like print, this function can convert any SyntaxElement into its JSON string representation. However, instead of returning the string, this function will write the resulting JSON into a file, returning a Future that can be used to await the completion of the operation.

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

inherited

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.

Static Properties

instance → SyntaxPrinter

The singleton instance to use to access all printing methods.

final

Constants

INDENT → const String

The indentation used for each "scope" in the resulting JSON.
