"this string contains 2 \'single quotes\' ";

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

linter:
  rules:
    - unnecessary_string_escapes

If you're instead using the YAML map syntax to configure linter rules, add unnecessary_string_escapes: true under linter > rules:

linter:
  rules:
    unnecessary_string_escapes: true
