Avoid relative imports for files in lib/.

This rule is available as of Dart 2.0.

Rule sets: core, recommended, flutter

This rule has a quick fix available.

Details

#

DO avoid relative imports for files in lib/.

When mixing relative and absolute imports it's possible to create confusion where the same member gets imported in two different ways. An easy way to avoid that is to ensure you have no relative imports that include lib/ in their paths.

You can also use 'always_use_package_imports' to disallow relative imports between files within lib/.

BAD:

dart
import 'package:foo/bar.dart';

import '../lib/baz.dart';

...

GOOD:

dart
import 'package:foo/bar.dart';

import 'baz.dart';

...
