FailedCursor final

final class FailedCursor extends ACursor

Annotations: @immutable

An ACursor representing a failed navigation step.

All navigation methods on a FailedCursor are no-ops that return this, allowing errors to propagate to the point where ACursor.decode is called rather than requiring explicit error checking at each step.

Inheritance

Object → ACursor → FailedCursor

Constructors

FailedCursor() const

const FailedCursor(HCursor? lastCursor, CursorOp? lastOp)

Implementation

const FailedCursor(super.lastCursor, super.lastOp);

Properties

failed no setter inherited

bool get failed

Returns true if the cursor is in a failed state.

Inherited from ACursor.

Implementation

bool get failed => !succeeded;

hashCode no setter inherited

int get hashCode

The hash code for this object.

A hash code is a single integer which represents the state of the object that affects operator == comparisons.

All objects have hash codes. The default hash code implemented by Object represents only the identity of the object, the same way as the default operator == implementation only considers objects equal if they are identical (see identityHashCode).

If operator == is overridden to use the object state instead, the hash code must also be changed to represent that state, otherwise the object cannot be used in hash based data structures like the default Set and Map implementations.

Hash codes must be the same for objects that are equal to each other according to operator ==. The hash code of an object should only change if the object changes in a way that affects equality. There are no further requirements for the hash codes. They need not be consistent between executions of the same program and there are no distribution guarantees.

Objects that are not equal are allowed to have the same hash code. It is even technically allowed that all instances have the same hash code, but if clashes happen too often, it may reduce the efficiency of hash-based data structures like HashSet or HashMap.

If a subclass overrides hashCode, it should override the operator == operator as well to maintain consistency.

Inherited from Object.

Implementation

external int get hashCode;

incorrectFocus no setter

bool get incorrectFocus

Returns true if the last operation required a JSON object or array but the cursor was not focused on one (wrong type, not a missing field).

Implementation

bool get incorrectFocus =>
    ((lastOp?.requiresObject ?? false) && !(lastCursor?.value.isObject ?? false)) ||
    ((lastOp?.requiresArray ?? false) && !(lastCursor?.value.isArray ?? false));

If the cursor is inside a JArray, returns Some with the current index.

Inherited from ACursor.

key no setter inherited

Option<String> get key

If the cursor is inside a JObject, returns Some with the current key.

Inherited from ACursor.

  Decoder<A> decoder,
  A Function() fallback,

    get(key, decoder.optional()).fold(
      (err) => fallback().asRight(),

    );

history() inherited

  }

  return ilist(ops);
}

left() override

ACursor left()

If the focus is an element in a JSON array, move to the left.

Implementation

@override
ACursor left() => this;

noSuchMethod() inherited

dynamic noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation)

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

A dynamic member invocation can attempt to call a member which doesn't exist on the receiving object. Example:

dynamic object = 1;
object.add(42); // Statically allowed, run-time error

This invalid code will invoke the noSuchMethod method of the integer 1 with an Invocation representing the .add(42) call and arguments (which then throws).

Classes can override noSuchMethod to provide custom behavior for such invalid dynamic invocations.

A class with a non-default noSuchMethod invocation can also omit implementations for members of its interface. Example:

class MockList<T> implements List<T> {
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {
    log(invocation);
    super.noSuchMethod(invocation); // Will throw.
  }
}
void main() {
  MockList().add(42);
}

This code has no compile-time warnings or errors even though the MockList class has no concrete implementation of any of the List interface methods. Calls to List methods are forwarded to noSuchMethod, so this code will log an invocation similar to Invocation.method(#add, [42]) and then throw.

If a value is returned from noSuchMethod, it becomes the result of the original invocation. If the value is not of a type that can be returned by the original invocation, a type error occurs at the invocation.

The default behavior is to throw a NoSuchMethodError.

Inherited from Object.

Implementation

@pragma("vm:entry-point")
@pragma("wasm:entry-point")
external dynamic noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation);

pathToRoot() inherited

PathToRoot pathToRoot()

Reconstructs the full PathToRoot from the cursor chain.

Inherited from ACursor.

Implementation

PathToRoot pathToRoot() {
  // TODO: Revisit lastCursorParentOrLastCursor
  var currentCursor = this as ACursor?;
  var acc = PathToRoot.empty;

  while (currentCursor != null) {
    if (currentCursor.failed) {
      // If the cursor is in a failed state, we lose context on what the
      // attempted last position was. Since we usually want to know this
      // for error reporting, we use the lastOp to attempt to recover that
      // state. We only care about operations which imply a path to the
      // root, such as a field selection.

      final lastCursor = currentCursor.lastCursor;
      final lastOp = currentCursor.lastOp;

      switch (lastOp) {
        case Field _:
          currentCursor = currentCursor.lastCursor;
          acc = acc.prependElem(PathElem.objectKey(lastOp.key));

          currentCursor = currentCursor.lastCursor;
          acc = acc.prependElem(PathElem.objectKey(lastOp.key));
        case DownArray _:

            currentCursor = lastCursor.parent;
            acc = acc.prependElem(PathElem.arrayIndex(lastCursor.indexValue + 1));

right() override

ACursor right()

If the focus is an element in a JSON array, move to the right.

Implementation

@override
ACursor right() => this;

root() override

HCursor? root()

Returns the root HCursor of the cursor chain, or null if unavailable.

Implementation

@override
HCursor? root() => lastCursor?.root();

set() inherited

ACursor set(Json j)

Returns a new cursor with the focus replaced by j.

Inherited from ACursor.

Implementation

ACursor set(Json j) => withFocus((_) => j);

success() override

Option<HCursor> success()

Returns Some with this cursor if it succeeded, or None if it failed.

Implementation

@override
Option<HCursor> success() => none();

top() override

Option<Json> top()

Returns Some with the root Json value if the cursor succeeded.

Implementation

@override
Option<Json> top() => none();

toString() override

String toString()

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() => 'FailedCursor($lastCursor, $lastOp)';

up() override

ACursor up()

Move focus to the parent.

Implementation

@override
ACursor up() => this;

withFocus() override

ACursor withFocus(Json Function(Json) f)

Returns a new cursor with the focused Json replaced by f(focused).

Implementation

@override
ACursor withFocus(Function1<Json, Json> f) => this;

Operators

operator ==() inherited

bool operator ==(Object other)

The equality operator.

The default behavior for all Objects is to return true if and only if this object and other are the same object.

Override this method to specify a different equality relation on a class. The overriding method must still be an equivalence relation. That is, it must be:

• Total: It must return a boolean for all arguments. It should never throw.

• Reflexive: For all objects o, o == o must be true.

• Symmetric: For all objects o1 and o2, o1 == o2 and o2 == o1 must either both be true, or both be false.

• Transitive: For all objects o1, o2, and o3, if o1 == o2 and o2 == o3 are true, then o1 == o3 must be true.

The method should also be consistent over time, so whether two objects are equal should only change if at least one of the objects was modified.

If a subclass overrides the equality operator, it should override the hashCode method as well to maintain consistency.

Inherited from Object.

Implementation

external bool operator ==(Object other);
