Two plugins have the same class name flutter

I am importing the
permission_handler plug-in and the
location plug-in.
The problem is that both of these have a class called PermissionStatus, and I need to use PermissionStatus.granted from the location plug-in, since I am requesting permission to access location from the location plug-in. So what I need someone to explain to me is either
a) How to fix the problem of using a class from one plugin, that happens to be in another plugin I imported under the same name.

or

b) How to properly request permission for access to location using only permission_handler

If you have import two libraries that have conflicting identifiers, then you can specify an import prefix for one or both libraries.

For example, if library1 and library2 both have an Element class, then you might have code like this:

import 'package:lib1/lib1.dart';
import 'package:lib2/lib2.dart' as lib2;

// use in your code like
Element libraryOneElement = Element(); // from library one
lib2.Element libraryTwoElement = lib2.Element(); // from library two

A demo using your code as an example:

import '...permission_handler...';
import '... location...' as location;

// use in your code like
var permissionHandlerStatus = PermissionStatus.granted;
var locationPermissionStatus = location.PermissionStatus.granted;
