Darttype.element as ClassElement, but element2 was prompted after the upgrade

Darttype. element as ClassElement
Not sure how to convert to ClassElement after using element2 ?

        final ele = type.element as ClassElement; // type => DartType
        // final ele = type as InterfaceType;
        final toJson = ele.lookUpMethod('toJson', ele.library);
        // final toJson = ele.getMethod("toJson");
        if (toJson == null) {
          value = refer("jsonEncode($displayName)");
        } else {
          value = refer("$displayName?.toJson()");
        }

InterfaceType.element2 is InterfaceElement, and will be in future version not only ClassElement, but also EnumElement, or MixinElement. Right now both are also ClassElement, but we will separate them in the next breaking changes version. I think you might use InterfaceElement methods, without casting to ClassElement.

How should DartType be converted to InterfaceType?

TypeChecker(List).isExactly((ParameterElement.type as InterfaceElement))

error => type 'ParameterElementImpl' is not a subtype of type 'InterfaceElement' in type cast

You don't convert, you check if it is InterfaceType, using if (myType is InterfaceType) {...}. It might be something different, e.g. FunctionType.
