The findInCandidates method must be overridden and will be enforced at
compilation after apply is removed.

  allCandidates
  → Iterable<Element> 
- 
  Returns all of the items that will be considered by this finder.

  no setterinherited
- hasFound → bool
- 
  Whether or not this finder has any results in found.
  no setterinherited

- 
  The hash code for this object.
  no setterinherited

- 
  Returns a variant of this finder that only matches the last item
found by this finder.

Methods
- 
  apply(Iterable< Element> candidates) → Iterable<Element> 
- 
  Returns all the elements in the given list that match this
finder's pattern.
  inherited
- 
  at(int index) → Finder 
- 
  Returns a variant of this finder that only matches the item at the
given index found by this finder.
  override
- 
  describeMatch(Plurality plurality) → String 
- 
  Describes zero, one, or more candidates that match the requirements of a
finder.
  override
- 
  evaluate() → FinderResult< Element> 
- 
  Searches a set of candidates for those that meet the requirements set by
this finder and returns the result of that search.
  inherited
- 
  findInCandidates(Iterable< Element> candidates) → Iterable<Element> 
- 
  Returns all the items in the given list that match this
finder's requirements.
  inherited
- 
  hitTestable({Alignment at = Alignment.center}) → Finder 
- Returns a variant of this finder that only matches elements reachable by a hit test.
- 
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic 
- 
  Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
  inherited
- 
  precache() → bool 
- 
  Attempts to evaluate the finder. Returns whether any elements in the tree
matched the finder. If any did, then the result is cached and can be obtained
from evaluate.
  inherited
- 
  reset() → void 
- 
  Resets all state of this FinderBase.
  inherited
- 
  runCached(VoidCallback run) → void 
- 
  Runs the given callback using cached results.
  inherited
- 
  toString({bool describeSelf = false}) → String 
- 
  A string representation of this finder or its results.
  inherited
- 
  tryEvaluate() → bool 
- 
  Searches a set of candidates for those that meet the requirements set by
this finder and returns whether the search found any matching candidates.
  inherited
Operators
- 
  operator ==(Object other) → bool 
- 
  The equality operator.
