 /// A rule which warns when setState is called inside initState, didUpdateWidget
 /// or build methods and when it's called from a sync method that is called
 /// inside those methods.
+///
+/// Cases where setState is unnecessary:
+/// - synchronous calls inside State lifecycle methods:
+///   - initState
+///   - didUpdateWidget
+///   - didChangeDependencies
+/// - synchronous calls inside `build` method
+///
+/// Nested synchronous setState invocations are also disallowed.
+///
+/// Calling setState in the aforementioned methods is allowed for:
+/// - async methods
+/// - callbacks
+///
+/// Example:
+/// ```dart
+/// void initState() {
+///   setState(() => foo = 'bar');  // lint
+///   changeState();                // lint
+///   triggerFetch();               // OK
+///   stream.listen((event) => setState(() => foo = event)); // OK
+/// }

+/// void changeState() {
