Methods

apply(Iterable<Element> candidates) Iterable<Element>
Returns all the elements in the given list that match this finder's pattern.
at(int index) Finder
Returns a variant of this finder that only matches the element at the given index matched by this finder.
evaluate() Iterable<Element>
Returns the current result. If precache was called and returned true, this will cheaply return the result that was computed then. Otherwise, it creates a new iterable to compute the answer.
hitTestable({Alignment at = Alignment.center}) Finder
Returns a variant of this finder that only matches elements reachable by a hit test.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
precache() bool
Attempts to evaluate the finder. Returns whether any elements in the tree matched the finder. If any did, then the result is cached and can be obtained from evaluate.
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
override
