Skillshub dart-language

Dart 3.x language feature standards: null safety, records, sealed classes, switch pattern matching, extensions, and async/await. ALWAYS consult when using !, ?., ??, late, sealed classes, record types, switch expressions, or async patterns — and before introducing any new Dart 3.x construct to confirm the modern idiomatic approach. (triggers: **/*.dart, sealed, record, switch, pattern, !, late, async, extension)

Dart Language Patterns

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Modern Dart standards for safety, performance, and readability.

Implementation Guidelines

  • Null Safety: Avoid
    !
    . Use
    ?.
    ,
    ??
    , or short-circuiting. Use
    late
    only if necessary.
  • Immutability: Use
    final
    for all variables. Use
    @freezed
    for data classes.
  • Pattern Matching (3.x): Use
    switch (value)
    with patterns and destructuring.
  • Records: Use Records (e.g.,
    (String, int)
    ) for returning multiple values.
  • Sealed Classes: Use
    sealed class
    for exhaustive state handling in domain logic.
  • Extensions: Use
    extension
    to add utility methods to third-party types.
  • Wildcards (3.7+): Use
    _
    for unused variables in declarations and patterns.
  • Tear-offs: Prefer using tear-offs (e.g.,
    list.forEach(print)
    ) over anonymous lambdas (e.g.,
    list.forEach((e) => print(e))
    ).
  • Asynchrony: Prefer
    async/await
    over raw
    Future.then
    . Use
    unawaited
    for fire-and-forget logic if necessary.
  • Encapsulation: Use
    _
    prefix for library-private members. Prefer
    final
    properties.
  • Collections: Use
    collection-if
    ,
    collection-for
    , and spread operators
    ...
    .
  • Safe List Access: Prefer
    .firstOrNull
    ,
    .lastOrNull
    , or
    .elementAtOrNull(i)
    .
  • No dynamic: Use
    Object
    or generics instead of
    dynamic
    .
  • Type Aliases: Use
    typedef
    for complex IDs or callbacks.

Anti-Patterns

  • No ! Operator: Do not use the bang operator
    !
    unless you can prove the value is non-null via
    if
    or
    assert
    .
  • No var for members: Do not use
    var
    for class members; use
    final
    or explicit types.
  • No logic in constructors: Do not perform complex calculations or async work inside constructors.

Code

// Sealed class and Switch expression
sealed class Result {}
class Success extends Result { final String data; Success(this.data); }
class Failure extends Result {}

String message(Result r) => switch (r) {
  Success(data: var d) => "Got $d",
  Failure() => "Error",
};
