detach method

  1. @override
void detach ()
override

Mark this node as detached.

Typically called only from the parent's detach, and by the owner to mark the root of a tree as detached.

Subclasses with children should override this method to first call their inherited detach method, and then detach all their children.

Implementation 

@override
void detach() {
  assert(owner._nodes.containsKey(id));
  assert(!owner._detachedNodes.contains(this));
  owner._nodes.remove(id);
  owner._detachedNodes.add(this);
  super.detach();
  assert(owner == null);
  if (_children != null) {
    for (SemanticsNode child in _children) {
      // The list of children may be stale and may contain nodes that have
      // been assigned to a different parent.
      if (child.parent == this)
        child.detach();
    }
  }
  // The other side will have forgotten this node if we ever send
  // it again, so make sure to mark it dirty so that it'll get
  // sent if it is resurrected.
  _markDirty();
}
