final argument that defaults to uuid?

[Guyren Howe]

This seems reasonable to me:

class Thing{

  final uuid = Uuid();
  String id;
  
  Thing({
    this.id = const uuid.v1()
  });
}

gives me the error “The prefix uuid can’t be used here because it is shadowed by a local declaration”.

Doesn’t seem to matter if uuid is static, final or anything else.

How do I do this?

Answering my own question:

class Thing{

  final uuid = Uuid();
  String id;
  
  Thing({

    String? id
  }):

   this.id = id ?? uuid.v1();

}
