HttpOverrides abstract#

This class facilitates overriding HttpClient with a mock implementation. It should be extended by another class in client code with overrides that construct a mock implementation. The implementation in this base class defaults to the actual HttpClient implementation. For example:

// An implementation of the HttpClient interface
class MyHttpClient implements HttpClient {
  MyHttpClient(SecurityContext? c);

  @override
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {
    // your implementation here
  }
}

void main() {
  HttpOverrides.runZoned(() {
    // Operations will use MyHttpClient instead of the real HttpClient
    // implementation whenever HttpClient is used.
  }, createHttpClient: (SecurityContext? c) => MyHttpClient(c));
}

Properties#

hashCode no setter inherited#

The hash code for this object.

A hash code is a single integer which represents the state of the object that affects operator == comparisons.

All objects have hash codes. The default hash code implemented by Object represents only the identity of the object, the same way as the default operator == implementation only considers objects equal if they are identical (see identityHashCode).

If operator == is overridden to use the object state instead, the hash code must also be changed to represent that state, otherwise the object cannot be used in hash based data structures like the default Set and Map implementations.

Hash codes must be the same for objects that are equal to each other according to operator ==. The hash code of an object should only change if the object changes in a way that affects equality. There are no further requirements for the hash codes. They need not be consistent between executions of the same program and there are no distribution guarantees.

Objects that are not equal are allowed to have the same hash code. It is even technically allowed that all instances have the same hash code, but if clashes happen too often, it may reduce the efficiency of hash-based data structures like HashSet or HashMap.

If a subclass overrides hashCode, it should override the operator == operator as well to maintain consistency.

Inherited from Object.

external int get hashCode;

runtimeType no setter inherited#

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Inherited from Object.

external Type get runtimeType;

Methods#

createHttpClient()#

Returns a new HttpClient using the given context.

When this override is installed, this function overrides the behavior of new HttpClient.

HttpClient createHttpClient(SecurityContext? context) {
  return _HttpClient(context);
}

findProxyFromEnvironment()#

Resolves the proxy server to be used for HTTP connections.

When this override is installed, this function overrides the behavior of HttpClient.findProxyFromEnvironment.

String findProxyFromEnvironment(Uri url, Map<String, String>? environment) {
  return _HttpClient._findProxyFromEnvironment(url, environment);
}

noSuchMethod() inherited#

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

A dynamic member invocation can attempt to call a member which doesn't exist on the receiving object. Example:

dynamic object = 1;
object.add(42); // Statically allowed, run-time error

This invalid code will invoke the noSuchMethod method of the integer 1 with an Invocation representing the .add(42) call and arguments (which then throws).

Classes can override noSuchMethod to provide custom behavior for such invalid dynamic invocations.

A class with a non-default noSuchMethod invocation can also omit implementations for members of its interface. Example:

class MockList<T> implements List<T> {
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {
    log(invocation);
    super.noSuchMethod(invocation); // Will throw.
  }
}
void main() {
  MockList().add(42);
}

This code has no compile-time warnings or errors even though the MockList class has no concrete implementation of any of the List interface methods. Calls to List methods are forwarded to noSuchMethod, so this code will log an invocation similar to Invocation.method(#add, [42]) and then throw.

If a value is returned from noSuchMethod, it becomes the result of the original invocation. If the value is not of a type that can be returned by the original invocation, a type error occurs at the invocation.

The default behavior is to throw a NoSuchMethodError.

Inherited from Object.

@pragma("vm:entry-point")
@pragma("wasm:entry-point")
external dynamic noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation);

toString() inherited#

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static parse function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override toString to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

Inherited from Object.

external String toString();

Operators#

operator ==() inherited#

The equality operator.

The default behavior for all Objects is to return true if and only if this object and other are the same object.

Override this method to specify a different equality relation on a class. The overriding method must still be an equivalence relation. That is, it must be:

• Total: It must return a boolean for all arguments. It should never throw.

• Reflexive: For all objects o, o == o must be true.

• Symmetric: For all objects o1 and o2, o1 == o2 and o2 == o1 must either both be true, or both be false.

• Transitive: For all objects o1, o2, and o3, if o1 == o2 and o2 == o3 are true, then o1 == o3 must be true.

The method should also be consistent over time, so whether two objects are equal should only change if at least one of the objects was modified.

If a subclass overrides the equality operator, it should override the hashCode method as well to maintain consistency.

Inherited from Object.

external bool operator ==(Object other);

Static Properties#

current no setter#

static HttpOverrides? get current {
  return Zone.current[_httpOverridesToken] ?? _global;
}

global no getter#

The HttpOverrides to use in the root Zone.

These are the HttpOverrides that will be used in the root Zone, and in Zone's that do not set HttpOverrides and whose ancestors up to the root Zone do not set HttpOverrides.

static set global(HttpOverrides? overrides) {
  _global = overrides;
}

Static Methods#

runWithHttpOverrides()#

Runs body in a fresh Zone using the overrides found in overrides.

Note that overrides should be an instance of a class that extends HttpOverrides.

static R runWithHttpOverrides<R>(R Function() body, HttpOverrides overrides) {
  return dart_async.runZoned<R>(
    body,
    zoneValues: {_httpOverridesToken: overrides},
  );
}

runZoned()#

Runs body in a fresh Zone using the provided overrides.

static R runZoned<R>(
  R Function() body, {
  HttpClient Function(SecurityContext?)? createHttpClient,
  String Function(Uri uri, Map<String, String>? environment)?
  findProxyFromEnvironment,
}) {
  HttpOverrides overrides = _HttpOverridesScope(
    createHttpClient,
    findProxyFromEnvironment,
  );
  return dart_async.runZoned<R>(
    body,
    zoneValues: {_httpOverridesToken: overrides},
  );
}
