Summary class Null safety

An annotation that provides a short description of a class for use in an index.

Usually the first paragraph of the documentation for a class can be used for this purpose, but on occasion the first paragraph is either too short or too long for use in isolation, without the remainder of the documentation.

link 
/// A famous cat.
///
/// Instances of this class can hunt small animals.
/// This cat has three legs.
@Category(<String>['Animals', 'Cats'])
@Category(<String>['Cute', 'Pets'])
@DocumentationIcon('https://www.examples.net/docs/images/icons/pillar.jpeg')
@Summary('A famous three-legged cat.')
class Pillar extends Cat {
  // ...code...
}

  • DocumentationIcon, which is used to give the URL to an image that represents the class.
