runWithReporter method

@override void runWithReporter(SaropaDiagnosticReporter reporter, SaropaContext context)

Override this method to implement your lint rule.

Use context to register callbacks for AST node types:

context.addMethodInvocation((node) {
  if (condition) {
    reporter.atNode(node);
  }
});

Implementation

@override
void runWithReporter(
  SaropaDiagnosticReporter reporter,
  SaropaContext context,
) {
  // Use direct assignment expression callback for reliable detection
  context.addAssignmentExpression((AssignmentExpression node) {
    final lhs = node.leftHandSide;

    // Only match variables ending with 'notifier'
    if (lhs is! SimpleIdentifier) return;

    final name = lhs.name.toLowerCase();
    if (name != 'notifier' && !name.endsWith('notifier')) return;

    // Check if file imports Riverpod - if not, skip entirely
    if (!_fileImportsRiverpod(node)) return;

    // Skip if inside a lifecycle method - initial construction is valid there
    if (_isInsideLifecycleMethod(node)) return;

    // Check if the RHS type is a Flutter notifier (not Riverpod)
    final rhs = node.rightHandSide;
    if (_isFlutterNotifierConstruction(rhs)) return;

    // Check if the variable's declared type is a Flutter notifier
    final declaredType = lhs.staticType?.getDisplayString();
    if (declaredType != null && _isFlutterNotifierType(declaredType)) return;

    // Also check RHS static type for cases where LHS type isn't resolved
    final rhsType = rhs.staticType?.getDisplayString();
    if (rhsType != null && _isFlutterNotifierType(rhsType)) return;

    reporter.atNode(node);
  });
