use_ if_ null_ to_ convert_ nulls_ to_ bools
Details about the 'use_if_null_to_convert_nulls_to_bools' diagnostic produced by the Dart analyzer.
Use an if-null operator to convert a 'null' to a 'bool'.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a nullable bool-valued
expression is compared (using == or !=) to a boolean literal.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the nullable boolean
variable b is compared to true:
void f(bool? b) {
if (b == true) {
// Treats `null` as `false`.
}
}
Common fixes
#Rewrite the condition to use ?? instead:
void f(bool? b) {
if (b ?? false) {
// Treats `null` as `false`.
}
}
Unless stated otherwise, the documentation on this site reflects Dart 3.10.3. Report an issue.
