Avoid dynamic

Severity {#severity}

Warning

Description {#description}

Warns when dynamic type is used as variable type in declaration, return type of a function, etc. Using dynamic is considered unsafe since it can easily result in runtime errors.

Note: using dynamic type for Map<> is considered fine since there is no better way to declare type of JSON payload.

Example {#example}

Bad:

dynamic x = 10; // LINT

// LINT
String concat(dynamic a, dynamic b) {
  return a + b;
}

Good:

int x = 10;

final x = 10;

String concat(String a, String b) {
  return a + b;
}
