avoid_relative_lib_imports

Avoid relative imports for files in lib/.

This rule is available as of Dart 2.0.0.

Rule sets: core, recommended, flutter

This rule has a quick fix available.

Details

DO avoid relative imports for files in lib/.

When mixing relative and absolute imports it’s possible to create confusion where the same member gets imported in two different ways. An easy way to avoid that is to ensure you have no relative imports that include lib/ in their paths.

You can also use ‘always_use_package_imports’ to disallow relative imports between files within lib/.

BAD:

import 'package:foo/bar.dart';

import '../lib/baz.dart';

...

GOOD:

import 'package:foo/bar.dart';

import 'baz.dart';

...

Usage
