About

Plugin for Dart Analyzer to checking enum.toString() usages.

Motivation

Default Enum.toString() method represents a enum constant as class name + constant name (example: Colors.green but not green). In some cases this cast is not valid for a program logic (parse values to DB or JSON and vice versa) and can causing some problems (when from DB you get a strings without class names, "green" == Colors.green.toString() is not as we needed). Plugin helps to prevent described problem.
