Using the Linter

AVOID to check if type is double or int.

When compiled to JS, integer values are represented as floats. That can lead to some unexpected behavior when using either is or is! where the type is either int or double.

BAD:

f(num x) {
  if (x is double) {
    ...
  } else if (x is int) {
    ...
  }
}

GOOD:

f(dynamic x) {
  if (x is num) {
    ...
  } else {
    ...
  }
}
