handler property

void handler=(Function? newHandler)

Sets the handler that is invoked for every incoming message.

The handler is invoked in the Zone.root zone. If the handler should be invoked in the current zone, do:

rawPort.handler = Zone.current.bindCallback(actualHandler);

The handler must be a function which can accept one argument of the type of the messages sent to this port. This means that if it is known that messages will all be Strings, a handler of type void Function(String) can be used. The function is invoked dynamically with the actual messages, and if this invocation fails, the error becomes a top-level uncaught error in the Zone.root zone.

Implementation

// TODO(44659): Change parameter type to `void Function(Never)` to only
// accept functions which can be called with one argument.
void set handler(Function? newHandler);
