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() {
  final StringBuffer buffer = StringBuffer('$kind: $message');
  if (disk != null) buffer.write(' (disk: $disk)');
  if (path != null) buffer.write(' (path: $path)');
  if (cause != null) buffer.write('\n$cause');
  return buffer.toString();
}
