unnecessary_ null_ checks
Details about the 'unnecessary_null_checks' diagnostic produced by the Dart analyzer.
Unnecessary use of a null check ('!').
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a null check operator (!) is
used in a context where a nullable value is acceptable.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because a null check is being
used even though null is a valid value to return:
int? f(int? i) {
return i!;
}
Common fixes
#Remove the null check operator:
int? f(int? i) {
return i;
}
