[flutter_lints] Consider including discarded_futures and unawaited_futures

[stephane-archer]

Use case

I did not understand correctly how to you async and Futur the right way because these two linter rules are not activated by default

  - discarded_futures
  - unawaited_futures

Proposal

I think they should be activated by default or at least mentioned in https://dart.dev/codelabs/async-await
that would have avoided a lot of pain in my learning...

I remember when I was a beginner Flutter dev, and was confused by it as well. Then I learned about these 2 rules and it "clicked" :)

@stephane-archer
Are you proposing to activate these lints in flutter_lints package ?

I think they should be activated by default or at least mentioned in https://dart.dev/codelabs/async-await

This will probably go in dart-lang's website repo from documentation point of view.
