built_ in_ identifier_ as_ type
Details about the 'built_in_identifier_as_type' diagnostic produced by the Dart analyzer.
The built-in identifier '{0}' can't be used as a type.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a built-in identifier is used where a type name is expected.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because import can't be used
as a type because it's a built-in identifier:
import<int> x;
Common fixes
#Replace the built-in identifier with the name of a valid type:
List<int> x;
