💅 Code style

It's good to keep consistent code style, at least project-wide, and Dart/Flutter does come with linting support.

Linting​

We're using flutter_lints package which contains recommended rules for Flutter apps.

Run linting by running flutter analyze command in the root of the project or integrate linter with your IDE.

Formatting​

To format the code use flutter format lib/ or flutter format test/ command in the root of a project.

Usage with VS Code​

Linting can be easily integrated via Flutter extension.

With this extension, you can find analysis issues in the Problems tab: VS Code linting

To see issues next to affected line use Error Lens extension.

Auto-formatting on file save​

Enable automatic code formatting on each file save by settings Manage (Bottom left cog icon) ➡ Settings, then search for Editor: Format On Save and enable the checkbox:
