🛠

Dart 3.0+

preset: recommended

Warns when a record positional field has a name.

Record positional field names do not affect code suggestions, but add extra noise with little benefit.

Consider using named fields instead.

This rule is not compatible with match-positional-field-names-on-assignment.

Example

❌ Bad:

class MyClass {
  final (String,) field;

  const MyClass(this.field);

  (int x, int y) getPoint() => (1, 1); // LINT

  (int x, {int y}) getPointPartiallyNamed() => (1, y: 1); // LINT
}

✅ Good:

class MyClass {
  final (String,) field;

  const MyClass(this.field);

  (int,) calculate() => (0,);

  ({int x, int y}) getPointNamed() => (x: 1, y: 1);

  ({int x, int y}) getPointPartiallyNamed() => (x: 1, y: 1);
}
