In order for an analyzer quick fix to aid the user in correcting exhaustiveness errors, it needs to know not just the text of the witness pattern that needs to be inserted, but also which elements are referenced by the identifiers in that pattern. This will allow it to add in imports if the user's code doesn't yet import the necessary library, or insert import prefixes in the case where the user is already importing the necessary library in a prefixed fashion. To reduce the effect on the exhaustiveness logic (which was designed with the intention of building up the witness pattern into a StringBuffer), we introduce a new type, `DartTemplateBuffer`, which behaves similarly to StringBuffer but also captures the necessary semantic information so that the analyzer will be able to fix up imports in an appropriate way. This change is mostly isolated to the _fe_analyzer_shared package; it doesn't add the necessary logic to the analyzer to capture the elements; it simply plumbs them up to the API boundary between the packages. Future CLs will add the necessary analyzer logic to make use of the information.

This package provides a library that performs static analysis of Dart code. It is useful for tool integration and embedding.
End-users should use the dart analyze command-line tool to analyze their Dart code.
Integrators that want to add Dart support to their editor should use the Dart Analysis Server. The Analysis Server API Specification is available. If you are adding Dart support to an editor or IDE, please let us know by emailing our list.
Configuring the analyzer
Both dart analyze and Dart Analysis Server can be configured with an
analysis_options.yaml file (using an .analysis_options file is deprecated).
This YAML file can control which files and paths are analyzed,
which lints are applied, and more.
If you are embedding the analyzer library in your project, you are responsible for finding the analysis options file, parsing it, and configuring the analyzer.
The analysis options file should live at the root of your project (for example,
next to your pubspec.yaml). Different embedders of analyzer, such as
dart analyze or Dart Analysis Server, may choose to find the file in various
different ways. Consult their documentation to learn more.
Here is an example file that instructs the analyzer to ignore two files:
analyzer:
exclude:
- test/_data/p4/lib/lib1.dart
- test/_data/p5/p5.dart
- test/_data/bad*.dart
- test/_brokendata/**
Note that you can use globs, as defined by the glob package.
Here is an example file that enables two lint rules:
linter:
rules:
- camel_case_types
- empty_constructor_bodies
Check out all the available Dart lint rules.
You can combine the analyzer section and the linter section into a single
configuration. Here is an example:
analyzer:
exclude:
- test/_data/p4/lib/lib1.dart
linter:
rules:
- camel_case_types
For more information, see the docs for customizing static analysis.
Who uses this library?
Many tools embed this library, such as:
- dart format - a formatter for Dart code
- dart doc - a documentation generator for Dart code
- Dart Analysis Server - a stateful server that supports IDEs and editors
Support
Post issues and feature requests at https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues. These will be triaged according to the analyzer triage priorities.
Questions and discussions are welcome at the Dart Analyzer Discussion Group.
Background
The APIs in this package were originally machine generated by a translator and were based on an earlier Java implementation. Several of the API's still look like their Java predecessors rather than clean Dart APIs.
In addition, there is currently no clean distinction between public and internal APIs. We plan to address this issue but doing so will, unfortunately, require a large number of breaking changes. We will try to minimize the pain this causes for our clients, but some pain is inevitable.
