unnecessary_to_list_in_spreads
Unnecessary use of 'toList' in a spread.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when toList
is used to convert an Iterable
to a List
just before a spread operator is applied to the list. The spread operator can be applied to any Iterable
, so the conversion isn't necessary.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because toList
is invoked on the result of map
, which is an Iterable
that the spread operator could be applied to directly:
dart
List<String> toLowercase(List<String> strings) {
return [
...strings.map((String s) => s.toLowerCase()).toList(),
];
}
Common fixes
#Remove the invocation of toList
:
dart
List<String> toLowercase(List<String> strings) {
return [
...strings.map((String s) => s.toLowerCase()),
];
}
