Pattern: Missing use of package import

Issue: -

Description

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. One way to avoid that is to ensure you consistently use absolute imports for files withing the lib/ directory.

This is the opposite of 'prefer_relative_imports'. Might be used with 'avoid_relative_lib_imports' to avoid relative imports of files within lib/ directory outside of it. (for example test/)

Example of correct code:

import 'package:foo/bar.dart';

import 'package:foo/baz.dart';

import 'package:foo/src/baz.dart';
...

Example of incorrect code:

import 'baz.dart';

import 'src/bag.dart'

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

...
