Record Equality in Dart 3¶

Did you know?

In Dart, two records are considered equal if they have:
- the same fields (named and positional)
- the same values for each field

This makes them a good lightweight alternative to classes when you need to return multiple values (and potentially compare them).

On the other hand, two distinct instances of the same class will NOT be considered equal, even if they have the SAME values, UNLESS we’ve implemented the == operator.

P.S. Don’t overuse records: classes are still the way to go if you need to store data AND functionality. 👍
