ClassUtils class final

A utility class that provides static methods for working with class hierarchies and type relationships in Dart's reflection system.

This class offers functionality to traverse and analyze class inheritance structures, including superclasses, interfaces, and special handling for arrays and enums.

Usage

// Get the complete class hierarchy for a type
final hierarchy = ClassUtils.getClassHierarchy(Class.of<String>());

// The hierarchy will include:
// - The original class (String)
// - All superclasses up to Object
// - All implemented interfaces
// - Special handling for arrays and enums

print('Class hierarchy for String:');
for (final clazz in hierarchy) {
  print('  ${clazz.getName()}');
}

Features

• Complete hierarchy traversal: Walks up the entire inheritance chain
• Interface inclusion: Includes all implemented interfaces at each level
• Array support: Special handling for array component types
• Enum support: Proper enum hierarchy with Enum base class
• Duplicate prevention: Ensures no duplicate classes in the hierarchy
• Ordered results: Returns hierarchy in a logical traversal order
