How to tell if an object is an instance of a class

How can I determine whether an object is of a class or not in the Dart language?

I\'m looking to do something like the following:

Recently Object got runtimeType getter. So, now we may not only compare type of object with another type, but actually get the class name of an object. As in:

myObject.runtimeType.toString()

Furthermore, in the current version of Dart, you can now skip toString operation and directly compare runtimeType of object with target type as in

myObject.runtimeType == int

or

myObject.runtimeType == Animal
