initializeVisitor abstract method

void initializeVisitor(NodeRegistry registry)

Register all of the visit methods of a Sidecar Rule.

For example, if you have a Lint rule that visits String Literals, then you must add the visitor to the NodeRegistry's StringLiteral register:

class StringLiterals extends LintRule {
  ...

  @override
  void initializeVisitor(NodeRegistry registry) {
    // add SimpleStringLiteral to registry,
    // otherwise visitStringLiteral() will not be called
    registry.addSimpleStringLiteral(this);
  }

  @override
  void visitStringLiteral(StringLiteral node) {
    reportAstNode(node,
      message: 'Avoid any hardcoded Strings.',
      correction: 'Use an intl message instead.');
  }
}
