Proposal to implement pattern matching throughout the repo #150942
Description
It's fun to turn switch statements into switch expressions, but there are other interesting ways that pattern-matching can make things more concise & readable.
example (widget_inspector.dart):
// before
final Object? object = toObject(id);
if (object is Element) {
final RenderObject? renderObject = object.renderObject;
if (renderObject is RenderFlex) {
renderObject.mainAxisAlignment = mainAxisAlignment;
}
}
// after
if (toObject(id) case Element(:final RenderFlex renderObject)) {
renderObject.mainAxisAlignment = mainAxisAlignment;
}
