Community maintained configurations

The following are third-party submitted/ maintained configurations of eslint-plugin-flowtype:

• https://github.com/wemake-services/eslint-config-flowtype-essential

Settings

onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation

When true, only checks files with a @flow annotation in the first comment.

{
  "settings": {
    "flowtype": {
      "onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation": true
    }
  }
}

Rules

array-style-complex-type

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces a particular annotation style of complex types.

Type is considered complex in these cases:

• Maybe type
• Function type
• Object type
• Tuple type
• Union type
• Intersection type

This rule takes one argument.

If it is 'verbose' then a problem is raised when using Type[] instead of Array<Type>.

If it is 'shorthand' then a problem is raised when using Array<Type> instead of Type[].

The default value is 'verbose'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = (?string)[]
// Message: Use "Array<?string>", not "(?string)[]"

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = (?string)[]
// Message: Use "Array<?string>", not "(?string)[]"

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<?string>
// Message: Use "(?string)[]", not "Array<?string>"

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<{foo: string}>
// Message: Use "{foo: string}[]", not "Array<{foo: string}>"

type X = (string | number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string | number>", not "(string | number)[]"

type X = (string & number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string & number>", not "(string & number)[]"

type X = [string, number][]
// Message: Use "Array<[string, number]>", not "[string, number][]"

type X = {foo: string}[]
// Message: Use "Array<{foo: string}>", not "{foo: string}[]"

type X = (string => number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string => number>", not "(string => number)[]"

type X = {
    foo: string,
    bar: number
}[]
// Message: Use "Array<{ foo: string, bar: number }>", not "{ foo: string, bar: number }[]"

type X = {
    foo: string,
    bar: number,
    quo: boolean,
    hey: Date
}[]
// Message: Use "Array<Type>", not "Type[]"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = Array<?string>

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = Array<?string>

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = (?string)[]

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<string>

// Options: ["shorthand"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = Array<?string>

array-style-simple-type

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces a particular array type annotation style of simple types.

Type is considered simple in these cases:

• Primitive types
• Literal types
• Mixed type
• Any type
• Class type
• Generic type
• Array type shorthand notation

This rule takes one argument.

If it is 'verbose' then a problem is raised when using Type[] instead of Array<Type>.

If it is 'shorthand' then a problem is raised when using Array<Type> instead of Type[].

The default value is 'verbose'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = string[]
// Message: Use "Array<string>", not "string[]"

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = string[]
// Message: Use "Array<string>", not "string[]"

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<string>
// Message: Use "string[]", not "Array<string>"

type X = Date[]
// Message: Use "Array<Date>", not "Date[]"

type X = Promise<string>[]
// Message: Use "Array<Promise<string>>", not "Promise<string>[]"

type X = $Keys<{foo: string}>[]
// Message: Use "Array<$Keys<{foo: string}>>", not "$Keys<{foo: string}>[]"

type X = any[]
// Message: Use "Array<any>", not "any[]"

type X = mixed[]
// Message: Use "Array<mixed>", not "mixed[]"

type X = void[]
// Message: Use "Array<void>", not "void[]"

type X = null[]
// Message: Use "Array<null>", not "null[]"

type X = Promise<{
    foo: string,
    bar: number
}>[]
// Message: Use "Array<Promise<{ foo: string, bar: number }>>", not "Promise<{ foo: string, bar: number }>[]"

type X = Promise<{
    foo: string,
    bar: number,
    quo: boolean
}>[]
// Message: Use "Array<Type>", not "Type[]"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = Array<string>

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = Array<string>

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = string[]

type X = Array<Array<string>>

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = (?string)[]

// Options: ["verbose"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = string[]

type X = Array

type X = typeof Array

arrow-parens

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces the consistent use of parentheses in arrow functions.

This rule has a string option and an object one.

String options are:

• "always" (default) requires parens around arguments in all cases.
• "as-needed" enforces no braces where they can be omitted.

Object properties for variants of the "as-needed" option:

• "requireForBlockBody": true modifies the as-needed rule in order to require parens if the function body is in an instructions block (surrounded by braces).

The following patterns are considered problems:

a => {}
// Message: undefined

a => a
// Message: undefined

a => {
}
// Message: undefined

a.then(foo => {});
// Message: undefined

a.then(foo => a);
// Message: undefined

a(foo => { if (true) {}; });

boolean-style

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces a particular style for boolean type annotations. This rule takes one argument.

If it is 'boolean' then a problem is raised when using bool instead of boolean.

If it is 'bool' then a problem is raised when using boolean instead of bool.

The default value is 'boolean'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = bool
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = bool
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = boolean
// Message: Use "bool", not "boolean"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = boolean

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = boolean

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = bool

// Options: ["boolean"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = bool

define-flow-type

delimiter-dangle

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent use of trailing commas in Object and Tuple annotations.

This rule takes three arguments where the possible values are the same as ESLint's default comma-dangle rule:

1. The first argument is for Object and Tuple annotations. The default value is 'never'.
2. The second argument is used for Interface annotations. This defaults to the value of the first argument.
3. The third argument is used for inexact object notation (trailing ...). The default value is 'never'.

If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a trailing comma.

If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no trailing comma.

If it is 'always-multiline' then a problem is raised when there is no trailing comma on a multi-line definition, or there is a trailing comma on a single-line definition.

If it is 'only-multiline' then a problem is raised when there is a trailing comma on a single-line definition. It allows, but does not enforce, trailing commas on multi-line definitions.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = { foo: string, }
// Message: Unexpected trailing delimiter

// Options: ["never"]
type X = { foo: string, }
// Message: Unexpected trailing delimiter

type baz = 6;
const hi = 2;
// Message: New line required below type declaration

const foo = 6;
type hi = 2;

// Message: New line required above type declaration

const som = "jes";

generic-spacing

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent spacing within generic type annotation parameters.

This rule takes one argument. If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a space surrounding the generic type parameters. If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no space surrounding the generic type parameters.

The default value is 'never'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = Promise< string>
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["never"]
type X = Promise<  string>
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

type X = FooBar<string >
// Message: There must be no space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< string >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<string >
// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = FooBar< string>
// Message: There must be a space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]

// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be a space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<(foo), bar, (((baz)))>
// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be a space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = FooBar<  string >
// Message: There must be one space at start of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]

// Message: There must be one space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<  (foo), bar, (((baz)))  >
// Message: There must be one space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be one space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = Promise<(string)>

type X = Promise<(foo), bar, (((baz)))>

type X = Promise<
  (foo),
  bar,
  (((baz)))
>

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise< (string) >

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >

interface-id-match

Enforces a consistent naming pattern for interfaces.

Options

This rule requires a text RegExp:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/interface-id-match": [
            2,
            "^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$"
        ]
    }
}

'^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$$' is the default pattern.

The following patterns are considered problems:

interface foo{};
// Message: Interface identifier 'foo' does not match pattern '/^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$/u'.

// Options: ["^foo$"]
interface FooType{};
// Message: Interface identifier 'FooType' does not match pattern '/^foo$/u'.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

interface FooType {};

// Options: ["^foo$"]
interface foo {};

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
interface foo {};

newline-after-flow-annotation

This rule requires an empty line after the Flow annotation.

Options

The rule has a string option:

• "always" (default): Enforces that @flow annotations be followed by an empty line, separated by newline (LF)
• "always-windows": Identical to "always", but will use a CRLF when autofixing
• "never": Enforces that @flow annotations are not followed by empty lines

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/newline-after-flow-annotation": [
      2,
      "always"
    ]
  }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["always"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["always-windows"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["never"]
// @flow


// Message: Expected no newline after flow annotation

The following patterns are not considered problems:

// Options: ["always"]
// @flow

import Foo from './foo';

// Options: ["always-windows"]
// @flow

import Foo from './foo';

// Options: ["never"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';

no-dupe-keys

Checks for duplicate properties in Object annotations.

This rule mirrors ESLint's no-dupe-keys rule.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-dupe-keys": 2
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type f = { a: number, b: string, a: number }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { a: number, b: string, a: string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: "a"): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: 1): string, get(key: 1): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: 1.1): string, get(key: 1.1): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: true): string, get(key: true): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: {a: 1}): string, get(key: {a: 1}):string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var a = "a"; type f = { get(key: a): string, get(key: a): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var b = 1; type f = { get(key: b): string, get(key: b): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var c = true; type f = { get(key: c): string, get(key: c): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var d = {}; type f = { get(key: d): string, get(key: d): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var e = []; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var e = [1, "a"]; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

function fn() {}; type f = { get(key: fn): string, get(key: fn): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type FooType = { a: number, b: string, c: number }

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type FooType = { a: number, b: string, a: number }

type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: "b"): string }

type f = { get(key: 1): string, get(key: 2): string }

type f = { get(key: 1.1): string, get(key: 1.2): string }

type f = { get(key: true): string, get(key: false): string }

type f = { get(key: ["a", 1]): string, get(key: ["a", 2]): string }

type f = { get(key: ["a", ["b", 1]]): string, get(key: ["a", ["b", 2]]): string }

type f = { a: number, b: string, c: number }

type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: 1): string }

type f = { get(key: { a: 1 }): string, get(key: { a: 2 }): string}

var a = {}; var b = {}; type f = { get(key: a): string, get(key: b): string }

var a = 1; var b = 1; type f = { get(key: a): string, get(key: b): string }

type a = { b: <C>(config: { ...C, key: string}) => C }

export interface Foo { get foo(): boolean; get bar(): string; }

no-duplicate-type-union-intersection-members

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Checks for duplicate members of a type union/intersection.

Options

You can disable checking intersection types using checkIntersections.

• true (default) - check for duplicate members of intersection members.
• false - do not check for duplicate members of intersection members.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/no-duplicate-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "checkIntersections": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can disable checking union types using checkUnions.

• true (default) - check for duplicate members of union members.
• false - do not check for duplicate members of union members.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/no-duplicate-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "checkUnions": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type A = 1 | 2 | 3 | 1;
// Message: Duplicate union member found "1".

type B = 'foo' | 'bar' | 'foo';
// Message: Duplicate union member found "'foo'".

type C = A | B | A | B;
// Message: Duplicate union member found "A".
// Message: Duplicate union member found "B".

type C = A & B & A & B;
// Message: Duplicate intersection member found "A".
// Message: Duplicate intersection member found "B".

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type A = 1 | 2 | 3;

type B = 'foo' | 'bar';

type C = A | B;

type C = A & B;

no-existential-type

Disallows use of the existential type (*). See more

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/no-existential-type": 2
  }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type T = *;
// Message: Unexpected use of existential type (*).

type T = U<*, *>;
// Message: Unexpected use of existential type (*).
// Message: Unexpected use of existential type (*).

const f: (*) => null = () => null;
// Message: Unexpected use of existential type (*).

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type T = string | null

no-flow-fix-me-comments

Disallows $FlowFixMe comment suppressions.

This is especially useful as a warning to ensure instances of $FlowFixMe in your codebase get fixed over time.

Options

This rule takes an optional RegExp that comments a text RegExp that makes the supression valid.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-flow-fix-me-comments": [
            1,
            "TODO\s+[0-9]+"
        ]
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

// $FlowFixMe I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe TODO abc 47 I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

// $$FlowFixMeProps I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMeProps I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

const text = 'HELLO';

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe TODO 48
const text = 'HELLO';

no-internal-flow-type

no-mixed

Warns against "mixed" type annotations. These types are not strict enough and could often be made more specific.

The following patterns are considered problems:

The following patterns are considered problems:

function foo(thing): mixed {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

function foo(thing): Promise<mixed> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<mixed>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

The following patterns are not considered problems:

function foo(thing): string {}

function foo(thing): Promise<string> {}

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<string>> {}

(foo?: string) => {}

(foo: ?string) => {}

type Foo = { (a: string): string }

function foo(thing: string) {}

var foo: string

class Foo { props: string }

no-mutable-array

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Requires use of $ReadOnlyArray instead of just Array or array shorthand notation. $ReadOnlyArray is immutable array collection type and the superclass of Array and tuple types in Flow. Use of $ReadOnlyArray instead of Array can solve some "problems" in typing with Flow (e.g., 1, 2).

General reasons for using immutable data structures:

• They are simpler to construct, test, and use
• They help to avoid temporal coupling
• Their usage is side-effect free (no defensive copies)
• Identity mutability problem is avoided
• They always have failure atomicity
• They are much easier to cache

Note that initialization of a variable with an empty array is considered valid (e.g., const values: Array<string> = [];). This behavior resembles the behavior of Flow's unsealed objects, as it is assumed that empty array is intended to be mutated.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = Array<string>
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

type X = string[]
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of array shorthand notation

const values: Array<Array<string>> = [];
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

let values: Array<Array<string>>;
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = $ReadOnlyArray<string>

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = [];

const values: $ReadOnlyArray<string>[] = [];

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = new Array();

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = Array();

no-primitive-constructor-types

Disallows use of primitive constructors as types, such as Boolean, Number and String. See more.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-primitive-constructor-types": 2
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type x = Number
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

type x = String
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

type x = Boolean
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.

type x = { a: Number }
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

type x = { a: String }
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

type x = { a: Boolean }
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.

(x: Number) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

(x: String) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

(x: Boolean) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type x = number

type x = string

type x = boolean

type x = { a: number }

type x = { a: string }

(x: number) => {}

(x: string) => {}

(x: boolean) => {}

type x = MyNumber

type x = MyString

type x = MyBoolean

no-types-missing-file-annotation

Disallows Flow type imports, aliases, and annotations in files missing a valid Flow file declaration (or a @noflow annotation).

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-types-missing-file-annotation": 2
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

type FooType = number;
// Message: Type aliases require valid Flow declaration.

import type A from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

import type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

export type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type exports require valid Flow declaration.

function t<T>(): T{}
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

// @flow
const x: number = 42;

/* @flow weak */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
import type A from "a"

import {type A} from "a"

/* @noflow */
export type {A} from "a"

// an unrelated comment
// @flow
export type {A} from "a"

no-unused-expressions

An extension of ESLint's no-unused-expressions. This rule ignores type cast expressions and optional call expressions, but otherwise behaves the same as ESLint's no-unused-expressions.

Bare type casts are useful, for example to assert the exhaustiveness of a switch:

type Action
  = { type: 'FOO', doFoo: (_: number) => void }
  | { type: 'BAR', doBar: (_: string) => void };

type State = { foo: number, bar: string };

function runFooBar(action: Action, state: State): void {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'FOO':
      doFoo(state.foo);
      break;
    case 'BAR':
      doBar(state.bar);
      break;
    default:
      (action: empty);  // type error when `Action` is extended with new types
      console.error(`Impossible action: ${action.toString()}`);
  }
}

This rule takes the same arguments as ESLint's no-unused-expressions. See that rule's documentation for details.

The following patterns are considered problems:

foo + 1
// Message: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.

x?.y
// Message: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

(foo: number)

x?.y()

no-weak-types

Warns against weak type annotations any, Object and Function. These types can cause flow to silently skip over portions of your code, which would have otherwise caused type errors.

This rule optionally takes one argument, an object to configure which type warnings to enable. By default, all of the warnings are enabled. e.g. to disable the any warning (allowing it to exist in your code), while continuing to warn about Object and Function:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false,
            "Object": true,
            "Function": true
        }]
    }
}

// or, the following is equivalent as default is true:

    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false
        }]

object-type-curly-spacing

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

This rule enforces consistent spacing inside braces of object types.

Options

The rule has a string option:

object-type-delimiter

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent separators between properties in Flow object types.

This rule takes one argument.

If it is 'comma' then a problem is raised when using ; as a separator.

If it is 'semicolon' then a problem is raised when using , as a separator.

The default value is 'comma'.

This rule is ported from babel/flow-object-type, however the default option was changed.

The following patterns are considered problems:

// Options: ["semicolon"]
type Foo = { a: Foo, b: Bar }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

quotes

Enforces single quotes or double quotes around string literals.

Options

The rule has string options of:

type T = { test: 'hello' | 'test', t: 'hello' }

require-compound-type-alias

Requires to make a type alias for all union and intersection types. If these are used in "raw" forms it might be tempting to just copy & paste them around the code. However, this brings sort of a source code pollution and unnecessary changes on several parts when these compound types need to be changed.

Options

The rule has two options:

1. a string option

• "always" (default)
• "never"

1. an object

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/require-compound-type-alias": [
      2,
      "always",
      {
        "allowNull": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

• allowNull – allows compound types where one of the members is a null, e.g. string | null.

The following patterns are considered problems:

// Options: ["always",{"allowNull":false}]
const foo: string | null = null;
// Message: All union types must be declared with named type alias.

function foo(bar: "A" | "B") {}
// Message: All union types must be declared with named type alias.

const foo: "A" | "B" = "A";
// Message: All union types must be declared with named type alias.

type Foo = { bar: "A" | "B" };
// Message: All union types must be declared with named type alias.

function foo(bar: { n: number } | { s: string }) {}
// Message: All union types must be declared with named type alias.

function foo(bar: { n: number } & { s: string }) {}
// Message: All intersection types must be declared with named type alias.

const foo: { n: number } & { s: string } = { n: 0, s: "" };
// Message: All intersection types must be declared with named type alias.

type Foo = { bar: { n: number } & { s: string } };
// Message: All intersection types must be declared with named type alias.

function foo(bar: { n: number } & { s: string }) {}
// Message: All intersection types must be declared with named type alias.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

const foo: string | null = null;

// Options: ["always",{"allowNull":true}]
const foo: string | null = null;

type Foo = "A" | "B";

type Bar = "A" | "B"; function foo(bar: Bar) {}

type Foo = { disjoint: "A", n: number } | { disjoint: "B", s: string };

type Foo = { n: number } & { s: string };

type Bar = { n: number } & { s: string }; function foo(bar: Bar) {}

// Options: ["never"]
function foo(bar: "A" | "B") {}

// Options: ["never"]
function foo(bar: { n: number } & { s: string }) {}

declare class Foo { foo: string }

type foo = {| |};

type foo = {| bar: string |};

type foo = { [key: string]: string, ... };

require-parameter-type

Requires that all function parameters have type annotations.

Options

You can skip all arrow functions by providing the excludeArrowFunctions option with true.

Alternatively, you can want to exclude only concise arrow functions (e.g. x => x * 2). Provide excludeArrowFunctions with expressionsOnly for this.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": "expressionsOnly"
            }
        ]
    }
}

You can exclude parameters that match a certain regex by using excludeParameterMatch.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeParameterMatch": "^_"
            }
        ]
    }
}

This excludes all parameters that start with an underscore (_). The default pattern is a^, which doesn't match anything, i.e., all parameters are checked.

The following patterns are considered problems:

(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":true}]
function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

(foo = 'FOO') => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

(...foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

({foo}) => {}
// Message: Missing "{foo}" parameter type annotation.

([foo]) => {}
// Message: Missing "[foo]" parameter type annotation.

({foo = 1} = {}) => {}
// Message: Missing "{foo = 1}" parameter type annotation.

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
// @flow
(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo: number, bar) => {}
// Message: Missing "bar" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo, bar) => {}
// Message: Missing "bar" parameter type annotation.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

(foo: string) => {}

(foo: string = 'FOO') => {}

(...foo: string) => {}

const f: Foo = (a, b) => 42;

({foo}: {foo: string}) => {}

([foo]: Array) => {}

type fn = (a: string, b: number) => number;
const f: fn = (a, b) => {}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
(foo) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":true}]
(foo) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
(foo) => 3

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo, bar: string) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo: number, bar: string) => {}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
(foo) => {}

require-readonly-react-props

This rule validates that React props are marked as $ReadOnly. React props are immutable and modifying them could lead to unexpected results. Marking prop shapes as $ReadOnly avoids these issues.

The rule tries its best to work with both class and functional components. For class components, it does a fuzzy check for one of "Component", "PureComponent", "React.Component" and "React.PureComponent". It doesn't actually infer that those identifiers resolve to a proper React.Component object.

For example, this will NOT be checked:

import MyReact from 'react';
class Foo extends MyReact.Component { }

As a result, you can safely use other classes without getting warnings from this rule:

class MyClass extends MySuperClass { }

React's functional components are hard to detect statically. The way it's done here is by searching for JSX within a function. When present, a function is considered a React component:

// this gets checked
type Props = { };
function MyComponent(props: Props) {
    return <p />;
}

// this doesn't get checked since no JSX is present in a function
type Options = { };
function SomeHelper(options: Options) {
    // ...
}

// this doesn't get checked since no JSX is present directly in a function
function helper() { return <p /> }
function MyComponent(props: Props) {
    return helper();
}

The rule only works for locally defined props that are marked with a $ReadOnly or using covariant notation. It doesn't work with imported props:

// the rule has no way of knowing whether ImportedProps are read-only
import { type ImportedProps } from './somewhere';
class Foo extends React.Component<ImportedProps> { }


// the rule also checks for covariant properties
type Props = {|
    +foo: string
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }

// this fails because the object is not fully read-only
type Props = {|
    +foo: string,
    bar: number,
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }

// this fails because spreading makes object mutable (as of Flow 0.98)
// https://github.com/gajus/eslint-plugin-flowtype/pull/400#issuecomment-489813899
type Props = {|
    +foo: string,
    ...bar,
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-readonly-react-props": 2
    }
}

Optionally, you can enable support for implicit exact Flow types (useful when using exact_by_default=true Flow option):

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-readonly-react-props": [
            2,
            {
                "useImplicitExactTypes": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type Props = { }; class Foo extends React.Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type OtherProps = { foo: string }; class Foo extends React.Component<OtherProps> { }
// Message: OtherProps must be $ReadOnly

class Foo extends React.Component<{}> { }
// Message: Foo class props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = { bar: {} }; class Foo extends React.Component<Props, State> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = { }; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = { }; class Foo extends PureComponent<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

export type Props = {}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = {| foo: string |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = {| foo: string |} | {| bar: number |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

// Options: [{"useImplicitExactTypes":true}]
type Props = { foo: string } | { bar: number }; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = {| +foo: string, ...bar |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = {| +foo: string, -bar: number |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = { }; function Foo(props: Props) { return <p /> }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

type Props = { }; function Foo(props: Props) { return foo ? <p /> : <span /> }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

function Foo(props: {}) { return <p /> }
// Message: Foo component props must be $ReadOnly

export type Props = {}; function Foo(props: Props) { return <p /> }
// Message: Props must be $ReadOnly

The following patterns are not considered problems:

class Foo extends React.Component<$ReadOnly<{}>> { }

type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends React.Component<Props> { }

type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends React.PureComponent<Props> { }

class Foo extends React.Component<$ReadOnly<{}, State>> { }

type Props = { +foo: string } | { +bar: number }; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }

type Props = $FlowFixMe; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }

require-return-type

Requires that functions have return type annotation.

Options

You can skip all arrow functions by providing the excludeArrowFunctions option with true.

Alternatively, you can exclude a concise arrow function (e.g. () => 2). Provide excludeArrowFunctions with expressionsOnly for this.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": "expressionsOnly"
            }
        ]
    }
}

You can exclude or include specific tests with the includeOnlyMatching and excludeMatching rules.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "includeOnlyMatching": [
                  "^F.*",
                  "Ba(r|z)"
              ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeMatching": [
                  "^F.*",
                  "Ba(r|z)"
              ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Both rules take an array that can contain either strings or valid RegExp statements.

require-valid-file-annotation

This rule validates Flow file annotations.

This rule can optionally report missing or missed placed annotations, common typos (e.g. // @floww), and enforce a consistent annotation style.

Options

The rule has a string option:

• "never" (default): Never report files that are missing an @flow annotation.
• "always": Always report files that are missing an @flow annotation

This rule has an object option:

• "annotationStyle" - Enforce a consistent file annotation style.

  • "none" (default): Either annotation style is accepted.
  • "line": Require single line annotations (i.e. // @flow).
  • "block": Require block annotations (i.e. /* @flow */).

• "strict" - Enforce a strict flow file annotation.

  • false (default): strict flow annotation is not required.
  • true: Require strict flow annotation (i.e. // @flow strict).

require-variable-type

Requires that all variable declarators have type annotations.

Options

You can exclude variables that match a certain regex by using excludeVariableMatch.

This excludes all parameters that start with an underscore (_). The default pattern is a^, which doesn't match anything, i.e., all parameters are checked.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-variable-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeVariableMatch": "^_"
            }
        ]
    }
}

You can choose specific variable types (var, let, and const) to ignore using excludeVariableTypes.

This excludes var and let declarations from needing type annotations, but forces const declarations to have it. By default, all declarations are checked.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-variable-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeVariableTypes": {
                "var": true,
                "let": true,
                "const": false,
              }
            }
        ]
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

var foo = "bar"
// Message: Missing "foo" variable type annotation.

var foo : string = "bar", bar = 1
// Message: Missing "bar" variable type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeVariableMatch":"^_"}]
var _foo = "bar", bar = 1
// Message: Missing "bar" variable type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"let":false,"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1; const oob : string = "oob"; let hey = "yah"
// Message: Missing "hey" variable type annotation.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

var foo : string = "bar"

var foo : string = "bar", bar : number = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableMatch":"^_"}]
var _foo = "bar", bar : number = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"let":true,"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1; const oob : string = "oob"; let hey = "yah"

semi

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent use of semicolons after type aliases.

This rule takes one argument. If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a semicolon after a type alias. If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no semicolon after a type alias.

The default value is 'always'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

// Options: ["always"]
class Foo { foo: string }
// Message: Missing semicolon.

// Options: ["never"]
class Foo { foo: string; }
// Message: Extra semicolon.

// Options: []
type FooType = {}
// Message: Missing semicolon.

// Options: ["always"]
type FooType = {}
// Message: Missing semicolon.

// Options: ["never"]
type FooType = {};
// Message: Extra semicolon.

// Options: []
opaque type FooType = {}
// Message: Missing semicolon.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type FooType = {};

// Options: ["always"]
type FooType = {};

// Options: ["always"]
(foo: string) => {}

// Options: ["always"]
class Foo { foo: string; }

// Options: ["never"]
class Foo { foo: string }

// Options: ["always"]

 };

// Options: ["never"]

opaque type FooType = {};

sort-keys

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces natural, case-insensitive sorting of Object annotations.

Options

The first option specifies sort order.

• "asc" (default) - enforce ascending sort order.
• "desc" - enforce descending sort order.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-keys": [
      2,
      "asc"
    ]
  }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

// Message: Expected type annotations to be in ascending order. "b" must be before "c".

// Options: ["desc"]
type FooType = { a: number, b: number }
// Message: Expected type annotations to be in descending order. "b" must be before "a".

// Options: ["desc"]
type FooType = { b: number, C: number, a: string }
// Message: Expected type annotations to be in descending order. "C" must be before "b".

sort-type-union-intersection-members

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces that members of a type union/intersection are sorted alphabetically.

Options

You can specify the sort order using order.

• "asc" (default) - enforce ascending sort order.
• "desc" - enforce descending sort order.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "order": "asc"
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can disable checking intersection types using checkIntersections.

• true (default) - enforce sort order of intersection members.
• false - do not enforce sort order of intersection members.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "checkIntersections": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can disable checking union types using checkUnions.

• true (default) - enforce sort order of union members.
• false - do not enforce sort order of union members.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "checkUnions": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can specify the ordering of groups using groupOrder.

Each member of the type is placed into a group, and then the rule sorts alphabetically within each group. The ordering of groups is determined by this option.

• keyword - Keyword types (any, string, etc)
• named - Named types (A, A['prop'], B[], Array<C>)
• literal - Literal types (1, 'b', true, etc)
• function - Function types (() => void)
• object - Object types ({ a: string }, { [key: string]: number })
• tuple - Tuple types ([A, B, C])
• intersection - Intersection types (A & B)
• union - Union types (A | B)
• nullish - null and undefined

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "groupOrder": [

space-after-type-colon

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent spacing after the type annotation colon.

Options

This rule has a string argument.

• "always" (default): Require a space after the type annotation colon (e.g. foo: BarType).
• "never": Require no spaces after the type annotation colon (e.g. foo:BarType).

This rule has an option object.

• "allowLineBreak" - Allow a line break to count as a space following the annotation colon.
  • "true": Enable
  • "false": Disable

{ "rules": { "flowtype/space-after-type-colon": [ 2, "always", { "allowLineBreak": false } ] } }

spread-exact-type

Enforce object types, that are spread to be exact type explicitly.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type bar = {...{test: string}}
// Message: Use $Exact to make type spreading safe.

type foo = {test: number}; type bar = {...foo}
// Message: Use $Exact to make type spreading safe.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type bar = {...$Exact<{test: string}>}

type foo = {test: number}; type bar = {...$Exact<foo>}

type-id-match

Enforces a consistent naming pattern for type aliases.

Options

This rule requires a text RegExp:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/type-id-match": [
            2,
            "^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$"
        ]
    }
}

'^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$$' is the default pattern.

The following patterns are considered problems:

opaque type foo = {};
// Message: Type identifier 'foo' does not match pattern '/^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$/u'.

type foo = {};
// Message: Type identifier 'foo' does not match pattern '/^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$/u'.

// Options: ["^foo$"]
type FooType = {};
// Message: Type identifier 'FooType' does not match pattern '/^foo$/u'.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type FooType = {};

// Options: ["^foo$"]
type foo = {};

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type foo = {};

type-import-style

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces a particular style for type imports:

// 'identifier' style
import {type T, type U, type V} from '...';

// 'declaration' style
import type {T, U, V} from '...';

Options

The rule has a string option:

• "identifier" (default): Enforces that type imports are all in the 'identifier' style.
• "declaration": Enforces that type imports are all in the 'declaration' style.

This rule has an object option:

• ignoreTypeDefault - if true, when in "identifier" mode, default type imports will be ignored. Default is false.

The following patterns are considered problems:

import type {A, B} from 'a';
// Message: Unexpected "import type"

// Options: ["identifier"]
import type {A, B} from 'a';
// Message: Unexpected "import type"

// Options: ["identifier"]
import type {A, B as C} from 'a';
// Message: Unexpected "import type"

// Options: ["identifier"]
import type A from 'a';
// Message: Unexpected "import type"

// Options: ["declaration"]
import {type A, type B} from 'a';
// Message: Unexpected type import
// Message: Unexpected type import

The following patterns are not considered problems:

import {type A, type B} from 'a';

// Options: ["identifier"]
import {type A, type B} from 'a';

// Options: ["declaration"]
import type {A, B} from 'a';

// Options: ["identifier"]
import typeof * as A from 'a';

// Options: ["identifier",{"ignoreTypeDefault":true}]
import type A from 'a';

// Options: ["identifier"]
declare module "m" { import type A from 'a'; }

union-intersection-spacing

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Enforces consistent spacing around union and intersection type separators (| and &).

This rule takes one argument. If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no space around the separator. If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a space around the separator.

The default value is 'always'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = string| number;
// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator

// Options: ["always"]
type X = string| number;
// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator

type X = string |number;
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator

type X = string|number;
// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator

type X = {x: string}|{y: number};
// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator

type X = string | number |boolean;
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator

// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space before union type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after union type annotation separator

// Message: There must be no space before union type annotation separator

// Options: ["never"]
type X = string| number;
// Message: There must be no space after union type annotation separator

type X = string& number;
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator

// Options: ["always"]
type X = string& number;
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator

type X = string &number;
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

type X = {x: string}&{y: number};
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

type X = string&number;
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

type X = string & number &boolean;
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

type X = string&number&boolean;
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

type X = (string)& number;
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator

type X = ((string))&(number & foo);
// Message: There must be a space before intersection type annotation separator
// Message: There must be a space after intersection type annotation separator

// Options: ["never"]
type X = string &number;
// Message: There must be no space before intersection type annotation separator

// Options: ["never"]
type X = string& number;
// Message: There must be no space after intersection type annotation separator

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = string | number;

type X = string | number | boolean;

type X = (string) | number;

type X = ((string)) | (number | foo);

// Options: ["never"]
type X = string|number

type X =

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = string| number;

type X = string & number;

type X = string & number & boolean;

type X = (string) & number;

type X = ((string)) & (number & foo);

// Options: ["never"]
type X = string&number

type X =
& string
& number

function x() {
type X =
& string
& number
}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = string& number;

use-flow-type

Marks Flow type alias declarations as used.

Used to suppress no-unused-vars errors that are triggered by type aliases.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

declare class A {}
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare function A(): Y
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare module A {}
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare module A { declare var a: Y }
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare var A: Y
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

import type A from "a"; type X<B = ComponentType<A>> = { b: B }; let x: X; console.log(x);
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

import type A from "a"; type X<B = A<string>> = { b: B }; let x: X; console.log(x);
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

use-read-only-spread

Warns against accidentally creating an object which is no longer read-only because of how spread operator works in Flow. Imagine the following code:

type INode = {|
  +type: string,
|};

type Identifier = {|
  ...INode,
  +name: string,
|};

You might expect the identifier name to be read-only, however, that's not true (flow.org/try):

const x: Identifier = { name: '', type: '' };

x.type = 'must NOT be writable!'; // No Flow error
x.name = 'must NOT be writable!'; // No Flow error

This rule suggests to use $ReadOnly<…> to prevent accidental loss of readonly-ness:

type Identifier = $ReadOnly<{|
  ...INode,
  +name: string,
|}>;

const x: Identifier = { name: '', type: '' };

x.type = 'must NOT be writable!'; // $FlowExpectedError[cannot-write]
x.name = 'must NOT be writable!'; // $FlowExpectedError[cannot-write]

The following patterns are considered problems:

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = {|
  ...INode,
  +aaa: string,
|};
// Message: Flow type with spread property and all readonly properties must be wrapped in '$ReadOnly<…>' to prevent accidental loss of readonly-ness.

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = {|
  ...INode,
  +aaa: string,
  +bbb: string,
|};
// Message: Flow type with spread property and all readonly properties must be wrapped in '$ReadOnly<…>' to prevent accidental loss of readonly-ness.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = {|
  ...INode,
  name: string,
|};

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = {|
  ...INode,
  name: string, // writable on purpose
  +surname: string,
|};

type Identifier = {|
  +name: string,
|};

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = $ReadOnly<{|
  ...INode,
  +name: string,
|}>;

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = $ReadOnly<{|
  ...INode,
  name: string, // writable on purpose
|}>;

type INode = {||};
type Identifier = $ReadOnly<{|
  ...INode,
  -name: string,
|}>;

valid-syntax

Deprecated Babylon (the Babel parser) v6.10.0 fixes parsing of the invalid syntax this plugin warned against.

Checks for simple Flow syntax errors.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

function x(foo: string = "1") {}

function x(foo: Type = bar()) {}
