empty_ constructor_ bodies
Use ; instead of {} for empty constructor bodies.
Details
#From Effective Dart:
DO use ; instead of {} for empty constructor bodies.
In Dart, a constructor with an empty body can be terminated with just a semicolon. This is required for const constructors. For consistency and brevity, other constructors should also do this.
BAD:
class Point {
int x, y;
Point(this.x, this.y) {}
}
GOOD:
class Point {
int x, y;
Point(this.x, this.y);
}
Enable
#
To enable the empty_constructor_bodies rule, add empty_constructor_bodies under
linter > rules in your analysis_options.yaml
file:
linter:
rules:
- empty_constructor_bodies
If you're instead using the YAML map syntax to configure linter rules,
add empty_constructor_bodies: true under linter > rules:
linter:
rules:
empty_constructor_bodies: true
