# toString method Null safety

1. @override

String 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.

## Implementation

    @override
    String toString() {
      switch (stringify) {
        case true:
          return mapPropsToString(runtimeType, props);
        case false:
          return '$runtimeType';
        default:
          return EquatableConfig.stringify == true
              ? mapPropsToString(runtimeType, props)
              : '$runtimeType';
      }
    }
