Use a setter for operations that conceptually change a property.

Details

#

DO use a setter for operations that conceptually change a property.

BAD:

dart
rectangle.setWidth(3);
button.setVisible(false);

GOOD:

dart
rectangle.width = 3;
button.visible = false;

Enable

#

To enable the use_setters_to_change_properties rule, add use_setters_to_change_properties under linter > rules in your analysis_options.yaml file:

analysis_options.yaml
yaml
linter:
  rules:
    - use_setters_to_change_properties

If you're instead using the YAML map syntax to configure linter rules, add use_setters_to_change_properties: true under linter > rules:

analysis_options.yaml
yaml
linter:
  rules:
    use_setters_to_change_properties: true
