The purpose of this lint is to help automate testing of the primary constructors feature. It is unlikely to be shipped in its current form. The goal is to flag all cases where a secondary constructor could be converted to a primary constructor. This includes classes with a default constructor. There is an assist that should convert most of these cases, but it has not yet been enhanced to work as a fix. That will be done in a future CL. I want to implement the lint first so that I know all of the conditions that the fix needs to handle. The most important part of this review is to ensure that the tests are reasonably complete. If there are any missing cases where the lint should flag a constructor for conversion, or any missing cases where a conversion should not be requested, please let me know.

Dart
An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
-
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
