PREFER 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. One way to avoid that is to ensure you consistently use relative imports for files within the lib/ directory.

BAD:

import 'package:my_package/bar.dart';

GOOD:

import 'bar.dart';

To enable the prefer_relative_imports rule, add prefer_relative_imports under linter > rules in your analysis_options.yaml file:

linter:
  rules:
    - prefer_relative_imports
