I have seen snippets like the following throughout the Flutter repo:
/// {@macro flutter.widgets.editableText.readOnly}
In the IDE and in the rendered Dart docs, it is then shown like this:
Whether the text can be changed.
When this is set to true, the text cannot be modified by any shortcut or keyboard operation. The text is still selectable.
Defaults to false. Must not be null.
And it tends to go way beyond this basic case.
You document a library by placing a doc comment right above the library directive at the start of the file. If the library doesn't have a library directive, you can add one just to hang the doc comment off of it.
Dart Single line Comment: Dart single line comment is used to comment a line until line break occurs. It is done using a double forward-slash (//). // This is a single line comment.
Just select the lines you want to make comment with your mouse, then press the following key combination: Ctrl + K then press Ctrl + C if you're using Windows.
dartdoc will not generate documentation for a Dart element and its children that have the @nodoc tag in the documentation comment. Creating a file named dartdoc_options.yaml at the top of your package can change how Dartdoc generates docs. An example (not necessarily recommended settings):
By default, the documentation is generated to the doc/api directory as static HTML files. Run dartdoc -h to see the available command-line options. You can view the generated docs directly from the file system, but if you want to use the search function, you must load them with an HTTP server.
Fewer language keywords means less clutter, and in this case, readability is not sacrificed. You create a Dart class constructor by adding a class method with the same name as the class itself. Often, constructors take parameters to initialize member variables:
The Dart language has great support for functional programming, but it's also a pure object-oriented (OO) language with single inheritance and mixin support. Even literals are objects, allowing you to write code like 5.isOdd, which will resolve to true.
You can create templates and use them as macros using dartdoc
, which is the default API documentation package that comes with Flutter.
Simply define an @template
anywhere in your docs:
/// {@template template_name}
/// Some shared docs
/// {@endtemplate}
Now, you can reuse it anywhere else:
/// Some comment
/// {@macro template_name}
/// More comments
