How do I call a super constructor in Dart? Is it possible to call named super constructors?
Yes, it is, the syntax is close to C#, here is an example with both default constructor and named constructor:
class Foo {
Foo(int a, int b) {
//Code of constructor
}
Foo.named(int c, int d) {
//Code of named constructor
}
}
class Bar extends Foo {
Bar(int a, int b) : super(a, b);
}
class Baz extends Foo {
Baz(int c, int d) : super.named(c, d);
Baz.named(int c, int d) : super.named(c, d);
}
If you want to initialize instance variables in the subclass, the super()
call must be last in an initializer list.
class CBar extends Foo {
int c;
CBar(int a, int b, int cParam) :
c = cParam,
super(a, b);
}

call guideline on /r/dartlang.
