Dart analyzer: get the type of the initial value of a field
How do I get the type of the original value expression using the Dart analyzer API?
class MyClass {
var prop = <initial value expression>;
}
If the initial value expression is, for example 'text'
, I would like to get String
. If this is a function call, I would like to get the return type of the function.

Once you have a fully resolved AST structure, ask Expression
for an expression representing its initial value staticType
. This will return DartType
representing the static type.
For type inference, it is possible to create a more specialized type that can be accessed with propagatedType
. (And if you don't care which type you get, you can use bestType
.
