avoid-dynamic

added in: 1.0.0 warning

Warns when the dynamic type is used as a variable type in a declaration, return type of a function, etc. Using dynamic is considered unsafe since it can easily result in runtime errors.

info

Using the dynamic type for a Map<> is considered fine, since there is no better way to declare a type of a JSON payload.

Example

Bad:

dynamic x = 10; // LINT

// LINT
String concat(dynamic a, dynamic b) {
  return a + b;
}

(dynamic,) _getValue() => (null, ); // LINT

Good:

int x = 10;

final x = 10;

String concat(String a, String b) {
  return a + b;
}

(int?,) _getValue() => (null, ); // LINT
