Presets

DCL includes 7 sets of predefined configurations:

  • All: contains all available lint rules for Dart and Flutter.
  • Dart: contains all lint rules applicable to any Dart app.
  • Flutter: contains all lint rules applicable to any Flutter app.

Suggestions​

  • Recommended: contains recommended Dart and Flutter rules (with an emphasis on finding errors).
  • Recommended metrics: contains recommended configured metrics.

Packages​

  • Flame: contains lint rules for the Flame package.
  • Intl: contains lint rules for the Intl package.
info

While presets are a great way to keep track of rule list updates, upgrading to a newer version of DCL can introduce new issues if the preset has been updated.

Consider this before choosing a preset.

Enabling a Preset​

To enable a preset:

For DCL configuration add the extents entry:


dart_code_linter:
  extends:
    - package:dart_code_linter/presets/all.yaml

Reconfiguring a Rule​

To reconfigure a rule included into a preset:


dart_code_linter:
  extends:
    - package:dart_code_linter/presets/all.yaml
  rules:
    - arguments-ordering:
        child-last: true

Disabling a Rule​

To disable a rule set its configuration to : false: analysis_options.yaml

  extends:
    - package:dart_code_linter/presets/all.yaml
  rules:
    - avoid-banned-imports: false

Defining a Custom Preset​

Any other preset can be passed to the extends entry. To create a custom preset create a yaml file with the same structure as for regular DCL configuration.
