You can read the article from Gilad Bracha : Method Cascades in Dart. At its ends, you will see many examples.

See also this answer of Lasse Nielsen about operator precedence :

It helps to think of ".." as not really an operator, but more like a scoping construct (like parentheses). It creates a new scope from the ".." to either the next "..", or the first other scope delimiter (";", ")", "}" or similar).

Basically, a..b().c() is the same as (t){t.b().c(); return t;}(a)
