How to use dart to implement a delegate/proxy?

Question

I have two classes Parser and Proxy, and when I invoke a method from Parser, which does not exist, it will delegate it to Proxy class.

My code:

class Parser {
    noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {
        // how to pass the `invocation` to `Proxy`???
    }
}

class Proxy {
    static String hello() { return "hello"; }
    static String world() { return "world"; }
}

That when I write:

var parser = new Parser();
print(parser.hello());

It will print:

hello

You have to use dart:mirrors. Here's how to do :

import 'dart:mirrors';

class Parser {
  noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) {
    ClassMirror cm = reflectClass(Proxy);
    return cm.invoke(invocation.memberName
        , invocation.positionalArguments
        /*, invocation.namedArguments*/ // not implemented yet
        ).reflectee;
  }
}

class Proxy {
  static String hello() { return "hello"; }
  static String world() { return "world"; }
}

main(){
  var parser = new Parser();
  print(parser.hello());
  print(parser.world());
}
