simple_lint

Overview

simple_lint provides a lightweight lint rule set based on flutter_lints,
with two additional rules focused on enforcing consistent import styles:

• always_use_package_imports: true
• prefer_relative_imports: false

Together, these prevent subtle instance-duplication bugs that can occur when
the same file is imported using a mix of package imports and relative paths —
a common cause of unexpected “singleton breakage” in Dart/Flutter projects.

Usage

1. Add simple_lint to your project:

dev_dependencies:
  simple_lint: ^1.0.0

2. In your project's analysis_options.yaml, include the lint rules:

include: package:simple_lint/simple_lint.yaml

That's all — the lint rules will be applied automatically.

Lint Rules Included

include: package:flutter_lints/flutter.yaml

linter:
  rules:
    always_use_package_imports: true
    prefer_relative_imports: false

analyzer:
  exclude:
    - build/**
    - test/**

These rules ensure consistent package-level imports and help avoid accidental duplication of objects across different import paths.

Support

No official support is provided at the moment.
