Modifiers In Dart
Modifiers are used in the programming to restrict, provide access to the class, or add specific functionality to variables and methods. You can divide modifiers into two groups:
- Access modifiers
- Non – Access modifiers
Access Modifiers
For Classes:
Modifier | Description |
---|---|
Default | Accessible by all the files and classes in the program throughout all folders or libraries. |
Private | Accessible only to the current library or, say, for files inside the current folder only. |
Info
Note: No private keyword is used to declare private, but _ (underscore) is added as a prefix to the class name in dart.
For methods and properties:
