Constants

factory → const _Factory: Used to annotate an instance or static method m. Indicates that m must either be abstract or must return a newly allocated object or null. In addition, every method that either implements or overrides m is implicitly annotated with this same annotation.
immutable → const Immutable: Used to annotate a class C. Indicates that C and all subtypes of C must be immutable.
kDebugMode → const bool: A constant that is true if the application was compiled in debug mode.
kFlutterMemoryAllocationsEnabled → const bool: If true, Flutter objects dispatch the memory allocation events.
kIsWasm → const bool: A constant that is true if the application was compiled to WebAssembly.
kIsWeb → const bool: A constant that is true if the application was compiled to run on the web.
kMaxUnsignedSMI → const int: The largest SMI value.

kReleaseMode → const bool: A constant that is true if the application was compiled in release mode.
mustCallSuper → const _MustCallSuper: Used to annotate an instance member (method, getter, setter, operator, or field) m. Indicates that every invocation of a member that overrides m must also invoke m. In addition, every method that overrides m is implicitly annotated with this same annotation.
nonVirtual → const _NonVirtual: Used to annotate an instance member (method, getter, setter, operator, or field) m in a class C or mixin M. Indicates that m should not be overridden in any classes that extend or mixin C or M.

visibleForOverriding → const _VisibleForOverriding: Used to annotate an instance member that was made public so that it could be overridden but that is not intended to be referenced from outside the defining library.
visibleForTesting → const _VisibleForTesting: Used to annotate a declaration that was made public, so that it is more visible than otherwise necessary, to make code testable.
