dart fix

What is it?

dart fix is a command line tool and part of the regular dart tool. It is used to batch apply fixes for analysis issues.

How does it work?

dart fix runs over your project looking for analysis issues. For each issue it checks whether there is an automated fix that can be applied. These fixes are generaly either in response to a lint or hint in your code, or part of upgrading your source to newer package APIs.

For the first type of change, the fixes are generally in response to the set of lints and analysis configuration specified in your analysis_options.yaml file.

The second type of change - upgrading to newer package APIs - is performed based on API changes defined for specific packages. This declarative definition of the API changes lives in a fix_data.yaml file in the package's lib/ directory (documentation forthcoming).
