total_lints 3.2.0

A very strict set of lints.

A very strict set of lints for Dart and Flutter apps.

Concept

Dart and Flutter come with an analysis tool that points some possible errors and bad styling that can lead to problems. More on this: https://dart.dev/guides/language/analysis-options

However, a lot of beneficial rules are disabled by default. This leads to either coding errors or long linter config that enables individual rules that you copy between projects.

This package is my opinionated choice of rules. Unlike lints and flutter_lints packages that enable specific rules, this package aims to enable all but specific rules. So every rule is enabled unless it was considered and deliberately rejected.

You may use this set as a baseline and enable or disable specific rules.

Usage

1. Add this package under dev_dependencies in your pubspec.yaml.

2. In your analysis_options.yaml, replace the default inclusion with a file from this package.

For applications:

include: package:total_lints/app.yaml

For packages:

include: package:total_lints/package.yaml

3. See https://dart.dev/guides/language/analysis-options to disable or enable specific rules.

4. Run analysis with flutter analyze.

Choosing a Set of Rules

app.yaml

This set is used for runnable applications. Their code is not reused, so tedious tasks on it are not required.

The rules in this set are listed here.

package.yaml

This set is used for packages that are used in other apps. A package's code is reusable by other developers, and the context of its usage is unknown in advance, so this code should meet a higher standard of maintainability.

This set includes all rules from app.yaml plus the rules listed here.

Using with Older Versions of Dart

For older versions, import a file with specific version, e.g.:

include: package:total_lints/package_2.17.yaml

The oldest version this package supports is 2.17.
