Pattern: Unawaited Future
Issue: -
DO await functions that return a Future inside of an async function body.
It's easy to forget await in async methods as naming conventions usually don't
tell us if a method is sync or async (except for some in dart:io).
When you really do want to start a fire-and-forget Future, the recommended
way is to use unawaited from package:pedantic. The // ignore and
// ignore_for_file comments also work.
Example of correct code:
Future doSomething() => ...;
void main() async {
await doSomething();
unawaited(doSomething()); // Explicitly-ignored fire-and-forget.
}Example of incorrect code:
void main() async {
doSomething(); // Likely a bug.
}
