UserDefinedCommand

The UserDefinedCommand class represents a single invocation of a custom (non-built-in) command within a yarn script. Objects of this type will be delivered to a DialogueView in its .onCommand() method.

Properties

name String

The name of the command, without the angle brackets. For example, if the command is <<smile>> in the yarn script, then its name will be "smile".

argumentString String

Command arguments, as a single string. For example, if the command is <<move Hippo {$delta}>>, and the value of variable $delta is 3.17, then the argument string will be "Hippo 3.17".

The argumentString is re-evaluated every time the command is executed, however, it is an error to access this property before the command was executed by the dialogue runner.

arguments List<dynamic>?

Command arguments, as a list of parsed values. This property will be null if the command was declared without a signature (i.e. as an “orphaned command”). However, if the command was linked as an external function, then the number and types of arguments in the list will correspond to the arguments of that function.

In the same example as above, the arguments will be ['Hippo', 3.17], assuming the linked Dart function is move(String target, double distance).
