switch Patterns and Guards

Match shapes and add when conditions.

switch Meets Patterns

Modern Dart lets switch match patterns, not just constants. Each case can test the shape of a value and unpack it at once. 🔀

A case can be a record pattern. If the value matches that shape, the case runs and its fields bind to variables.

switch (point) {
  case (0, 0): print('origin');
}
