Using npm:

or using yarn:
yarn add @babel/plugin-syntax-flow --dev
Similar to @babel/plugin-syntax-flow, but as a preset, it includes not only the syntax plugin but also plugins for transforming Flow annotations. This makes it a more comprehensive solution for projects using Flow.
While not a Babel plugin, flow-bin is the official Flow CLI that can be used for type checking Flow-typed JavaScript files. It serves a different purpose by providing the type checking itself, whereas @babel/plugin-syntax-flow only enables Babel to parse Flow syntax.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static types. It serves a similar purpose to Flow but is a different ecosystem. TypeScript has its own compiler and Babel can be configured to strip TypeScript types, similar to how @babel/plugin-syntax-flow works for Flow.
