registerExtension function

void registerExtension (String method, ServiceExtensionHandler handler)

Register a ServiceExtensionHandler that will be invoked in this isolate for method. NOTE: Service protocol extensions must be registered in each isolate.

NOTE: method must begin with 'ext.' and you should use the following structure to avoid conflicts with other packages: 'ext.package.command'. That is, immediately following the 'ext.' prefix, should be the registering package name followed by another period ('.') and then the command name. For example: 'ext.dart.io.getOpenFiles'.

Because service extensions are isolate specific, clients using extensions must always include an 'isolateId' parameter with each RPC.

Implementation

void registerExtension(String method, ServiceExtensionHandler handler) {
  ArgumentError.checkNotNull(method, 'method');
  if (!method.startsWith('ext.')) {
    throw new ArgumentError.value(method, 'method', 'Must begin with ext.');
  }
  if (_lookupExtension(method) != null) {
    throw new ArgumentError('Extension already registered: $method');
  }
  ArgumentError.checkNotNull(handler, 'handler');
  _registerExtension(method, handler);
}
