Dart Multiple Constructors
If you already used a constructor with params in the project and now you figured out that you need some no params default constructor you can add an empty constructor.
class User{
String name;
User({this.name}); //This you already had before
User.empty(); //Add this later
}
If your class uses final parameters the accepted answer will not work. This does:
class Player {
final String name;
final String color;
Player(this.name, this.color);
Player.fromPlayer(Player another) :
color = another.color,
name = another.name;
}
You can only have one unnamed constructor, but you can have any number of additional named constructors
class Player {
Player(String name, int color) {
this._color = color;
this._name = name;
}
Player.fromPlayer(Player another) {
this._color = another.getColor();
this._name = another.getName();
}
}
new Player.fromPlayer(playerOne);
This constructor can be simplified
Player(String name, int color) {
this._color = color;
this._name = name;
}
to
Player(this._name, this._color);
Named constructors can also be private by starting the name with _
class Player {
Player._(this._name, this._color);
Player._foo();
}
Constructors with final
fields initializer list are necessary:
class Player {
final String name;
final String color;
Player(this.name, this.color);
Player.fromPlayer(Player another) :
color = another.color,
name = another.name;
}
