Dynamically calling functions

Is there a method to call a function dynamically in Dart?

For example, in C/C++ I can use function pointers. In PHP/Javascript I can use the function name.

What I would like to achieve is placing functions in a list and iterate over the list of function to call them all on the same piece of data. How can I best accomplish this in dart?

Thanks for all the help!

You can simply use closures and function tear-offs to achieve this. Here's an example:

foo(String x) => print('Foo: $x');
bar(String x) => print('Bar: $x');

main() {
  final functions = [foo, bar, (String x) => print('Closure: $x')];
  for (final f in functions) {
    f('data');
  }
}

Which will output:

Foo: data
Bar: data
Closure: data
