convert method

void convert(dynamic name, dynamic value)

This method must be used on the root Node of the conversion. It converts all the Node of the tree from the Node which name is equal to name (value is assigned to this Node) to all the other Nodes of the tree.

Implementation

void convert(dynamic name, dynamic value) {
  assert(value is String || value is double);

  List<Node> pathToConvertedNode = _getNodesPathAndSelectNode(name, value);
  for (int i = pathToConvertedNode.length - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
    _convertTwoNodes(
        parent: pathToConvertedNode[i],
        child: pathToConvertedNode[i + 1],
        fromParentToChild: false);
  }

  //Now we use a BFS-like algorithm to convert everything from the root node
  //to every other node.
  Queue<Node> queue = Queue.from([this]);
  while (queue.isNotEmpty) {
    Node node = queue.removeFirst();
    if (node.leafNodes.isNotEmpty) {
      for (Node leafNode in node.leafNodes) {
        if (!leafNode.isConverted) {
          _convertTwoNodes(parent: node, child: leafNode);
        }
        queue.addLast(leafNode);
      }
    }
  }
}
