Text over multiple lines flutter

Question

I need to include a list of all the third party libraries I've used and thinking of just pasting all the licences into a string but I can't have a string over multiple lines in flutter.

  String licences = 'asfasdf
  asdf';

The above is an example and this shows an error: Expected to find ';'.dart(expected_token) Unterminated string literal.dart(unterminated_string_literal)

How can I achieve this so I can paste all the licences into a string?

You can use triple quote for multiple lines

String licences = '''asfasdf
                     asdf''';

The problem with this is that the resulting string will have spaces - asfasdf asdf rather than asfasdfasdf. Is there a solution that doesn't add those spaces?

Sounds trivial but you can just remove the spaces. That makes the indentation look a bit weird but is a valid solution. To have nicer indentation you could define the string in a new file instead of in some nested place.
