toString method

  1. @override
String toString()
override

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() {
  if (isEmpty) return '{}';
  final buffer = StringBuffer('{');
  bool first = true;
  forEach((key, value) {
    if (!first) {
      buffer.write(', ');
    }
    buffer.write('$key: $value');
    first = false;
  });
  buffer.write('}');
  return buffer.toString();
}
