Overview
The MVVM Linter is a Flutter/Dart package that enforces consistent coding standards and best practices within the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architectural pattern. It helps developers maintain clean, structured, and maintainable code by detecting common anti-patterns and deviations from recommended MVVM conventions. By integrating this linter into the development workflow, teams can ensure uniformity across projects and reduce technical debt. The tool is particularly useful in collaborative environments where adherence to architecture principles is critical.
