annotate_redeclares

Annotate redeclared members.

This rule is currently experimental and not yet available in a stable SDK.

This rule has a quick fix available.

Details

DO annotate redeclared members.

This practice improves code readability and helps protect against unintentionally redeclaring members or being surprised when a member ceases to redeclare (due for example to a rename refactoring).

BAD:

class C {
  void f() { }
}

extension type E(C c) implements C {
  void f() {
    ...
  }
}

GOOD:

import 'package:meta/meta.dart';

class C {
  void f() { }
}

extension type E(C c) implements C {
  @redeclare
  void f() {
    ...
  }
}

Usage

To enable the annotate_redeclares rule, add annotate_redeclares under linter > rules in your analysis_options.yaml file:

linter:
  rules:
    - annotate_redeclares
