Refactoring to convert params/args between positional and named

[lukehutch]

It would be great if the Dart tooling supported a quick fix that converted functions between positional and named argument types (in either direction).

If the function already has a mix of parameter types, then only the applicable parameters would be converted.

Before:

  Widget _endorsementWidget(
    Profile profile,
    EndorsementView endorsementView,
    bool isOwnProfile,
    bool hideIfApproved,
  ) { ... }

After:

  Widget _endorsementWidget({
    required Profile profile,
    required EndorsementView endorsementView,
    required bool isOwnProfile,
    required bool hideIfApproved,
  }) { ... }

or vice versa.

All invocation site args should also be fixed to correspond to the change in the definition of the function parameters.

(Dart version 3.5.0-180.3.beta)

Summary: The user requests a quick fix to convert function parameters between positional and named arguments, updating both the function definition and invocation sites to maintain consistency. This would allow users to easily switch between argument styles.

We have an experimental refactoring for this. If you're using VS Code you can enable it by checking the "Dart: Experimental Refactors" option.
