Suggests using dot shorthands with enums.

Example​

❌ Bad:

void fn(MyEnum? e) {
  switch (e) {
    // LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
    case MyEnum.first:
      print(e);
  }

  final v = switch (e) {
    // LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
    MyEnum.first => 1,
    _ => 2,
  };

  // LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
  final MyEnum another = MyEnum.first;

  // LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
  if (e == MyEnum.first) {}
}

// LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
void another({MyEnum value = MyEnum.first}) {}

// LINT: Prefer dot shorthands instead of explicit enum prefixes. Try removing the enum prefix.
MyEnum getEnum() => MyEnum.first;

enum MyEnum { first, second }

✅ Good:

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

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

  final MyEnum another = .first;

  if (e == .first) {}
}

void another({MyEnum value = .first}) {}

MyEnum getEnum() => .first;

Object getObject() => MyEnum.first;
