Create an instance of an object from a String in Dart?

How would I do the Dart equivalent of this Java code?

Class<?> c = Class.forName("mypackage.MyClass");
Constructor<?> cons = c.getConstructor(String.class);
Object object = cons.newInstance("MyAttributeValue");

(From Jeff Gardner)

Solution

  • The Dart code:

    ClassMirror c = reflectClass(MyClass);
InstanceMirror im = c.newInstance(const Symbol(''), ['MyAttributeValue']);
var o = im.reflectee;
