Example

❌ Bad:

void fn(SomeClass? e) {
  switch (e) {
    // LINT: Avoid dot shorthands as they reduce readability. Try adding explicit types.
    case .first:
      print(e);
  }

  final v = switch (e) {
    // LINT: Avoid dot shorthands as they reduce readability. Try adding explicit types.
    .first => 1,
    _ => 2,
  };

  // LINT: Avoid dot shorthands as they reduce readability. Try adding explicit types.
  final SomeClass another = .first;

  // LINT: Avoid dot shorthands as they reduce readability. Try adding explicit types.
  if (e == .first) {}
}

✅ Good:

void fn(SomeClass? e) {
  switch (e) {
    case SomeClass.first:
      print(e);
  }

  final v = switch (e) {
    SomeClass.first => 1,
    _ => 2,
  };

  final another = SomeClass.first;

  if (e == SomeClass.first) {}
}
