The analyzer package is a library that performs static analysis of Dart code, making it a valuable tool for developers and integrators alike. This package is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of Dart code, allowing users to identify potential issues, improve code quality, and optimize performance.
To get the most out of the analyzer package, it's essential to configure it properly. This can be done using an analysis_options.yaml file, which can control which files and paths are analyzed, which lints are applied, and more. The analysis options file should be located at the root of the project, and different embedders of the analyzer, such as dart analyze or Dart Analysis Server, may choose to find the file in various ways.
Here are a few examples of how to configure the analyzer using the analysis_options.yaml file:
analyzer:
exclude:
- test/_data/p4/lib/lib1.dart
- test/_data/p5/p5.dart
- test/_data/bad*.dart
- test/_brokendata/**
linter:
rules:
- camel_case_types
- empty_constructor_bodies
analyzer:
exclude:
- test/_data/p4/lib/lib1.dart
linter:
rules:
- camel_case_types
For more information on customizing static analysis, see the official Dart documentation.
