Dynamically get field of object in dart

Question

How do I dynamically get a field from an object instance?

I have this code:

var reflection = reflect(this);
InstanceMirror field = reflection.getField(new Symbol(fieldName));

When I print the variable field I get InstanceMirror on <'value of field'> so it's all there,... but how to actually get the value?

Answer 1

Once you get your InstanceMirror representing the field, simply call field.reflectee.

Answer 2

I found it. The actual value is in the InstanceMirror .reflectee property.
