warning
🛠

Warns when a declaration that returns a Future has an incorrect return type.

Object, dynamic, generic type, FutureOr or a nullable Future are considered incorrect and should be replaced by a Future.

Example​

❌ Bad:

dynamic function() async => ...; // LINT

Object function() async => ...; // LINT

FutureOr<int> function() async => ...; // LINT

Future<int>? function() async => ...; // LINT

T function<T>() async => ...; // LINT

✅ Good:

Future<dynamic> function() async => ...;

Future<Object> function() async => ...;

Future<int> function() async => ...;

Future<int> function() async => ...;

Future<T> function<T>() async => ...;
