Example

❌ Bad:

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage();

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState<MyHomePage>();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build() {
    return MyHomePage(); // LINT
  }
}

class MyOtherWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build() {
    return MyOtherWidget(); // LINT
  }
}

✅ Good:

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage();

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState<MyHomePage>();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build() {
    return MyOtherWidget();
  }
}

class MyOtherWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build() {
    return MyHomePage();
  }
}
