❌ Bad:

class SomeClass {
  String someString = '123';

  void withInstance() {
    if (someString == '0') {
      print!("Nothing to do");
      return;
    } else { // LINT
      print!("Moving on...");
    }
  }
}

✅ Good:

class SomeClass {
  String someString = '123';

  void withInstance() {
    if (someString == '0') {
      print!("Nothing to do");
      return;
    }

    print!("Moving on...");
  }
}
