Function abstract class

Super-type of all function types.

A function value, or an instance of a class with a "call" method, is a subtype of a function type, and as such, a subtype of Function.

abstract class Function {
  /**
   * Dynamically call [function] with the specified arguments.
   *
   * Acts the same as calling function with positional arguments
   * corresponding to the elements of [positionalArguments] and
   * named arguments corresponding to the elements of [namedArguments].
   *
   * This includes giving the same errors if [function] isn't callable or
   * if it expects different parameters.
   *
   * Example: [: Function.apply(foo, [1,2,3], {"f": 4, "g": 5}) :] gives
   * exactly the same result as [: foo(1, 2, 3, f: 4, g: 5) :].
   *
   * If [positionalArguments] is null, it's considered an empty list.
   * If [namedArguments] is omitted or null, it is considered an empty map.

Static Methods

apply(Function function, List positionalArguments, [Map<String, Dynamic> namedArguments]) #

Dynamically call function with the specified arguments.

Acts the same as calling function with positional arguments corresponding to the elements of positionalArguments and named arguments corresponding to the elements of namedArguments.

This includes giving the same errors if function isn't callable or if it expects different parameters.

Example: Function.apply(foo, [1,2,3], {"f": 4, "g": 5}) gives exactly the same result as foo(1, 2, 3, f: 4, g: 5) .

If positionalArguments is null, it's considered an empty list. If namedArguments is omitted or null, it is considered an empty map.
