convert method

void convert(T name, dynamic value)

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

Implementation

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

  List<ConversionNode> 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<ConversionNode> queue = Queue.from([this]);
  while (queue.isNotEmpty) {
    ConversionNode node = queue.removeFirst();
    if (node.leafNodes.isNotEmpty) {
      for (ConversionNode leafNode in node.leafNodes) {
        if (!leafNode.isConverted) {
          _convertTwoNodes(parent: node, child: leafNode);
        }
        queue.addLast(leafNode);
      }
    }
  }
}
