feat: custom linting (more than 80 lines for formatting)

[tomassasovsky]

It would be nice for the build not to fail if the code is not formatted like the Dart linter suggests.

Is there any way to change this?

While I personally would not recommend it, as Dart and the IDE tooling for the language always come with the 80 char line rule, I do see the added value for companies that have their own configuration for this.

Sadly there is currently no way to do this using the analysis_options.yaml file. But the flutter format command does expose a --line-length int flag. So we could add a --line-length ${{inputs.line_length}} flag to the step.?

What do you think @felangel?

Would greatly appreciate a feature to allow a custom line length passed to the dart/flutter format command. Something like:

jobs:
  verify_and_test:
    name: Verify and Test
    uses: VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_workflows/.github/workflows/dart_package.yml@v1
    with:
      working_directory: packages/my_package
      line_length: 100 # adding this option
      min_coverage: 100

I forked and added the feature. My branch seems to serve me well in my private project.

We're also using an other line length. Our default is 120 and so we're excluding generated files from formatting.

Our formatting command is:

find . -name "*.dart" ! -name "*.freezed.dart" ! -name "*.config.dart" ! -name "*.g.dart" ! -path '*/generated/*' | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs flutter format -l 120 --set-exit-if-changed

Maybe something like this could also be added as an option?
