clone abstract method
PodDefinition
clone()
inherited
Creates and returns a deep clone of this pod definition.
A cloned pod definition is typically used when:
- Reusing configuration across multiple pods
- Creating prototype-scoped pods
- Applying modifications without affecting the original definition
Subclasses must implement this method to ensure all fields are copied correctly.
Example
class RootPodDefinition extends PodDefinition {
RootPodDefinition({required super.name, required super.type});
@override
PodDefinition clone() {
return RootPodDefinition(name: name, type: type);
}
}
final rootDef = RootPodDefinition(name: "root", type: Class<OtherService>());
final cloned = rootDef.clone();
print(cloned.name); // "root"
Implementation
PodDefinition clone();
