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();
    );
  }
}
