use_ named_ constants
Use the constant '{0}' rather than a constructor returning the same object.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a constant is created with the
same value as a known
const
variable.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because there is a known
const
field (Duration.zero
) whose value is the same as what the
constructor invocation will evaluate to:
Duration d = const Duration(seconds: 0);
Common fixes
#
Replace the constructor invocation with a reference to the known
const
variable:
Duration d = Duration.zero;
