non_const_call_to_literal_constructor
This instance creation must be 'const', because the {0} constructor is marked as '@literal'.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a constructor that has the literal
annotation is invoked without using the const
keyword, but all of the arguments to the constructor are constants. The annotation indicates that the constructor should be used to create a constant value whenever possible.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic:
dart
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
class C {
@literal
const C();
}
C f() => C();
Common fixes
#Add the keyword const
before the constructor invocation:
dart
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
class C {
@literal
const C();
}
void f() => const C();
