Overview
The Import Lint package provides a set of lint rules to enforce consistent and clean import practices in Dart code. It analyzes import statements and reports issues such as unused imports, redundant imports, or improper import ordering. By integrating with the Dart analysis tool, it helps maintain code quality and readability across projects. The package is particularly useful for teams aiming to standardize their import patterns and reduce clutter in source files.
