unnecessary_const
Unnecessary 'const' keyword.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the keyword const
is used in a constant context. The keyword isn't required because it's implied.
Example
#The following code produces this diagnostic because the keyword const
in the list literal isn't needed:
dart
const l = const <int>[];
The list is implicitly const
because of the keyword const
on the variable declaration.
Common fixes
#Remove the unnecessary keyword:
dart
const l = <int>[];
