use_setters_to_change_properties

The method is used to change a property.

Description

#

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a method is used to set the value of a field, or a function is used to set the value of a top-level variable, and nothing else.

Example

#

The following code produces this diagnostic because the method setF is used to set the value of the field _f and does no other work:

dart
class C {
  int _f = 0;

  void setF(int value) => _f = value;
}

Common fixes

#

Convert the method to a setter:

dart
class C {
  int _f = 0;

  set f(int value) => _f = value;
}
