prefer_generic_function_type_aliases

Use the generic function type syntax in 'typedef's.

Description

#

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a typedef is written using the older syntax for function type aliases in which the name being declared is embedded in the function type.

Example

#

The following code produces this diagnostic because it uses the older syntax:

dart
typedef void F<T>();

Common fixes

#

Rewrite the typedef to use the newer syntax:

dart
typedef F<T> = void Function();
