avoid-duplicate-constant-values

added in: 1.22.0
warning
Pro+

Warns when a class or enum declaration has several constants with the same primitive values.

Duplicate enum constants are usually the result of a typo and a sign of a bug.

Example​

❌ Bad:

enum MyEnum {
  a('hi'),
  b('hi'), // LINT: Avoid duplicate constant values. Try changing this value or moving it out to a separate constant.
  c('another');

  final String value;

  const MyEnum(this.value);
}

class RuleType {
  final String value;

  const RuleType._(this.value);

  static const common = RuleType._('common');
  static const flutter = RuleType._('common'); // LINT: Avoid duplicate constant values. Try changing this value or moving it out to a separate constant.
}

✅ Good:

enum MyEnum {
  a('hi'),
  b('hello'), // Correct, different value
  c('another');

  final String value;

  const MyEnum(this.value);
}

class RuleType {
  final String value;

  const RuleType._(this.value);

  static const common = RuleType._('common');
  static const flutter = RuleType._('flutter'); // Correct, different value
}
