prefer_dedicated_media_query_functions

Details

PREFER using dedicated MediaQuery functions instead of accessing the properties from MediaQuery.of(context) or MediaQuery.maybeOf(context).

Using MediaQuery.of(context) or MediaQuery.maybeOf(context) to access below properties will cause unnecessary rebuilds.

Properties:

• accessibleNavigation
• alwaysUse24HourFormat
• boldText
• devicePixelRatio
• disableAnimations
• displayFeatures
• gestureSettings
• highContrast
• invertColors
• navigationMode
• onOffSwitchLabels
• orientation
• padding
• platformBrightness
• size
• systemGestureInsets
• textScaleFactor (deprecated after v3.12.0-2.0.pre)
• textScaler
• viewInsets
• viewPadding

final size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
final orientation = MediaQuery.maybeOf(context)?.orientation;

final mediaQuery = MediaQuery.of(context);
final platformBrightness = mediaQuery.platformBrightness;

Good

final size = MediaQuery.sizeOf(context);
final orientation = MediaQuery.maybeOrientationOf(context);

final platformBrightness = MediaQuery.platformBrightnessOf(context);
