avoid-wrapping-in-padding

Warns when a widget is wrapped in a Padding widget but has padding settings by itself.

Example

❌ Bad:

class CoolWidget {
...

Widget build(...) {
// LINT: Avoid wrapping a 'Container' into a 'Padding' widget.
// Try using the 'padding' argument of the 'Container' widget directly.
return Padding(
child: Container(),
);
}
}

✅ Good:

class CoolWidget {
Widget build() {
return Container();
}
}

class AnotherWidget {
Widget build() {
return Padding(
child: Icon(),
);
}
}
