Warns when a RichText widget is used instead of Text.rich.

RichText does not handle text scaling very well, so if accessability is important for you, use Text.rich instead.

Example​

❌ Bad:

// LINT: Prefer 'Text.rich' instead of 'RichText'.
RichText(
  text: TextSpan(
    text: 'Hello ',
    children: [
      TextSpan(text: 'bold'),
      TextSpan(text: ' world!'),
    ],
  ),
);

✅ Good:

Text.rich(
  TextSpan(
    text: 'Hello ',
    children: [
      TextSpan(text: 'bold'),
      TextSpan(text: ' world!'),
    ],
  ),
)
