no_leading_underscores_for_library_prefixes
The library prefix '{0}' starts with an underscore.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the name of a prefix declared on an import starts with an underscore.
Library prefixes are inherently not visible outside the declaring library, so a leading underscore indicating private adds no value.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the prefix _core
starts with an underscore:
dart
import 'dart:core' as _core;
Common fixes
#Remove the underscore:
dart
import 'dart:core' as core;
