preset: recommended

Warns when a null check inside a collection literal can be replaced with a null-aware spread (...?).

Example

❌ Bad:

void fn() {
  final Set<String>? localSet = <String>{};

  final collection = [
    if (localSet != null) ...localSet, // LINT
    ...localSet != null ? localSet : <String>{}, // LINT
    ...localSet ?? {}, // LINT
  ];
}

✅ Good:

void fn() {
  final Set<String>? localSet = <String>{};

  final collection = [
    ...?localSet,
    ...?localSet,
    ...?localSet,
  ];
}
