The language section under analyzer!

I know that these ensure that code specifies generic type arguments and make sure that code is maintainable with improved performance. But what actually do they and should we use it for any flutter project?

@ItsAdityaKSingh

Thanks a lot! You rock 💯

@tomaszpolanski is there any way to enforce documentation ? Like any option or plugins etc that makes sure that files are properly documented ?

Will this show a warning/error if something is not documented ? @tomaszpolanski

@tomaszpolanski

It should, just try it

@literalEval

@tomaszpolanski I tried it, but it has some issues. Like it asks for documentation for even the class constructors :( and also, isn't applicable to private fields. Is their any fix for these ? Can you please help ?

@tomaszpolanski

Yes, this is only for public class members, therefore public constructors as well. I do not know of any alternative for linters for private fields

@literalEval
Copy link

Okay. Thanks a lot @tomaszpolanski :)
Do you, by any chance, know how to proceed to make a custom linter that does so ?

It is possible to make a 'linter' that scans your code with https://pub.dev/packages/custom_lint
But this wont work with dart analyzer. The official custom linters are not yet available to my knowledge

Thanks. I will try that package and let you know.
