I was wondering if I can check which constructor I used to create the created element in an if statement in dart.
A simple example of what I want to do:
class Employee {
int id;
String name;
String title;
Employee.id(this.id);
Employee.name(this.name);
Employee.title(this.title);
}
Now I have an if statement somewhere in my code and want to check if I used the constructor Employee.id. In this case I would do something, somehow like this:
Employee e = new Employee.id(1)
//check if e was created with Employee.id constructur
if (e == Emploee.id) {
print(e.id)
} else {
print("no id")
}
Is there a way to do this? Thank you for your answer.
You can define private enum property for you to set private info like this, and print it with a function later on. Also don't forget to mark your constructors with
factory
.If you need this information not as a string, but as enum, you can always remove underscore on it, and make this info public for you to use outside of the class.
