when<TResult extends Object?> method

@optionalTypeArgs TResult when<TResult extends Object?>(TResult $default(String? mode, @JsonKey.new(name: 'client') List<UDPItem>? client, @JsonKey.new(name: 'server') List<UDPItem>? server))

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? mode,
          @JsonKey(name: 'client') List<UDPItem>? client,
          @JsonKey(name: 'server') List<UDPItem>? server)
      $default,
) {
  final _that = this;
  switch (_that) {
    case _HeaderCustomUDP():
      return $default(_that.mode, _that.client, _that.server);
    case _:
      throw StateError('Unexpected subclass');
  }
}
