MessageProperty class

Debugging message displayed like a property.

The following two properties are better expressed using this MessageProperty class, rather than StringProperty, as the intent is to show a message with property style display rather than to describe the value of an actual property of the object:
var table = MessageProperty('table size', '$columns\u00D7$rows');
var usefulness = MessageProperty('usefulness ratio', 'no metrics collected yet (never painted)');

On the other hand, StringProperty is better suited when the property has a concrete value that is a string:
var name = StringProperty('name', _name);

Constructors

MessageProperty(String name, String message, { DiagnosticLevel level: DiagnosticLevel.info })
Create a diagnostics property that displays a message. [...]

Properties

read-only, inherited
ifEmpty String
Description if the property description would otherwise be empty.
final, inherited
ifNull String
Description if the property value is null.
final, inherited
level DiagnosticLevel
Priority level of the diagnostic used to control which diagnostics should be shown and filtered. [...]
read-only, inherited
missingIfNull bool
Whether a value of null causes the property to have level DiagnosticLevel.warning warning that the property is missing a value.
