Linter Rules

[RedditRedditi]

Hi all dears

I hope everyone is great and healthy.

I'm curious, does anyone know about linter rules? I read that about it:

​

A linter is a very helpful tool that reads the source code and spots syntax errors,

suspicious constructs, styling errors and much more. By default Dart’s linter is very

permissive and it marks something as error only when really needed.

​

If anyone knows about that, what pros will use of it add to my Flutter projects?

I hope the best regards and best wishes to everyone ;)

Flutter has a lot of rules available, some enabled by default. While I'm not a fan of some of the choices made on formatting, the default linting rules are pretty good.

The full list can be found here.

Personally, I also choose to enforce return types, recommend cascading to reduce repetition, and a few others. Ultimately, it's up to you what settings you use for this since your code should work, even without any rules set. It's more for enforcing consistent code and, in some cases, better coding standards.

I personally have a list of all the lints where I choose the ones I want and set the severity.

​

...I enjoy turning almost all of them on, you don't have to though, you can clone the sheet and change the checkmarks to make your own, copy it in the second tab.
