Warns when a widget's State has unnecessary overrides.

Standard rule for unnecessary overrides does not trigger if a declaration has different annotations (and for State some of them are marked as @protected). This rule does not have this limitation.

Example​

❌ Bad:

class _FooState extends State<SomeWidget> {
  // LINT: This overridden method does not have any additional logic. Try removing it.
  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
  }

  // LINT: This overridden method does not have any additional logic. Try removing it.
  @override
  void initState() => super.initState();
}

✅ Good:

class _FooState extends State<SomeWidget> {
  @override
  void dispose() {
    // Comment or additional implementation
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    // Comment or additional implementation
    super.initState();
  }
}
