use_string_buffers
Use a string buffer rather than '+' to compose strings.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when values are concatenated to a string inside a loop without using a StringBuffer
to do the concatenation.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the string result
is computed by repeated concatenation within the for
loop:
dart
String f() {
var result = '';
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
result += 'a';
}
return result;
}
Common fixes
#Use a StringBuffer
to compute the result:
dart
String f() {
var buffer = StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
buffer.write('a');
}
return buffer.toString();
}
