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:
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)[]
type X = (?string)[]
type X = Array<?string>
type X = Array<{foo: string}>
type X = (string | number)[]
type X = (string & number)[]
type X = [string, number][]
type X = {foo: string}[]
type X = (string => number)[]
type X = {
foo: string,
bar: number
}[]
type X = {
foo: string,
bar: number,
quo: boolean,
hey: Date
}[]
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type X = Array<?string>
type X = Array<?string>
type X = (?string)[]
type X = Array<string>
type X = Array<?string>

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[]
type X = string[]
type X = Array<string>

type X = string[]
type X = Array<Array<string>>
type X = (?string)[]
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 => {}
a => a
a => {
}
a.then(foo => {});
a.then(foo => a);
a(foo => { if (true) {}; });
a(async foo => { if (true) {}; });
(a) => a
(a,) => a
async (a) => a
async(a) => a
a => {}
(a) => a
async a => {}
async (a) => a
async(a) => a
The following patterns are not considered problems:
() => {}
(a) => {}
(a) => a
(a) => {
}
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {}; });
a.then(async (foo) => { if (true) {}; });
() => {}
(a) => {}
(a) => a
(a) => {
}
a.then((foo) => {});
a.then((foo) => { if (true) {}; });
a.then(async (foo) => { if (true) {}; });
() => {}
a => {}
a => a
([a, b]) => {}
({ a, b }) => {}
(a = 10) => {}
(...a) => a[0]
(a, b) => {}
async ([a, b]) => {}
async (a, b) => {}
(a: T) => a
(a): T => a
() => {}
a => a
([a, b]) => {}
([a, b]) => a
({ a, b }) => {}
({ a, b }) => a + b
(a = 10) => {}
(...a) => a[0]
(a, b) => {}
a => ({})
async a => ({})
async a => a
(a: T) => a
(a): T => a
<T>(a: T) => a
<T>(a: T) => { return a; }
<T>(a: T) => { return a; }
<T>(a: T) => { return a; }
(a): %checks => typeof a === "number"
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
type X = bool
type X = boolean
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type X = boolean
type X = boolean
type X = bool
type X = bool
define-flow-type
Marks Flow type identifiers as defined.
Used to suppress no-undef
reporting of type identifiers.
The following patterns are not considered problems:
var a: AType
var a: AType; var b: AType
var a; (a: AType)
var a: AType<BType>
type A = AType
declare type A = number
opaque type A = AType
function f(a: AType) {}
function f(a: AType.a) {}
function f(a: AType.a.b) {}
function f(a): AType {}; var a: AType
function f(a): AType {}
class C { a: AType }
class C { a: AType.a }
class C { a: AType.a.b }
class C implements AType {}
declare interface A {}
({ a: ({b() {}}: AType) })
type X = {Y<AType>(): BType}
type Foo = $ReadOnly<{}>
var a: AType
var a: AType; var b: AType
var a; (a: AType)
var a: AType<BType>
type A = AType
declare type A = number
opaque type A = AType
function f(a: AType) {}
function f(a: AType.a) {}
function f(a: AType.a.b) {}
function f(a): AType {}; var a: AType
function f(a): AType {}
class C { a: AType }
class C { a: AType.a }
class C { a: AType.a.b }
class C implements AType {}
declare interface A {}
({ a: ({b() {}}: AType) })
type X = {Y<AType>(): BType}
type Foo = $ReadOnly<{}>
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:
- The first argument is for Object and Tuple annotations. The default value is
'never'
. - The second argument is used for Interface annotations. This defaults to the value of the first argument.
- 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.

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>
type X = Promise< string>
type X = FooBar<string >
type X = Promise< string >
type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
type X = Promise<string >
type X = FooBar< string>
type X = Promise<string>
type X = Promise<(foo), bar, (((baz)))>
type X = FooBar< string >
type X = FooBar< string >
type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type X = Promise<string>
type X = Promise<(string)>
type X = Promise<(foo), bar, (((baz)))>
type X = Promise<
(foo),
bar,
(((baz))),
>
type X = Promise< string >
type X = Promise< (string) >
type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
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:
import Foo from './foo';
import Foo from './foo';
import Foo from './foo';
The following patterns are not considered problems:
import Foo from './foo';
import Foo from './foo';
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 }
type f = { a: number, b: string, a: string }
type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: "a"): string }
type f = { get(key: 1): string, get(key: 1): string }
type f = { get(key: 1.1): string, get(key: 1.1): string }
type f = { get(key: true): string, get(key: true): string }

var d = {}; type f = { get(key: d): string, get(key: d): string }
var e = []; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
var e = [1, "a"]; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
function fn() {}; type f = { get(key: fn): string, get(key: fn): string }
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type FooType = { a: number, b: string, c: number }
type FooType = { a: number, b: string, a: number }
type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: "b"): string }

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-existential-type
Disallows use of the existential type (*). See more
{
"rules": {
"flowtype/no-existential-type": 2
}
}
The following patterns are considered problems:
type T = *;
type T = U<*, *>;
const f: (*) => null = () => null;
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type T = string | null
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:
const text = 'HELLO';
const text = 'HELLO';
const text = 'HELLO';
const text = 'HELLO';
const text = 'HELLO';
The following patterns are not considered problems:
const text = 'HELLO';
const text = 'HELLO';
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 {}
function foo(thing): Promise<mixed> {}
function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<mixed>> {}
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) => {}
(foo: { a: string }) => {}
(foo: { a: ?string }) => {}
(foo: string[]) => {}
type Foo = string
type Foo = { a: 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:

no-primitive-constructor-types
Disallows use of primitive constructors as types, such as Boolean
, Number
and String
. See more.

no-unused-expressions
An extension of ESLint's no-unused-expressions
.
This rule ignores type cast 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);
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
The following patterns are not considered problems:
(foo: number)
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
:

"any": false,
"Object": true,
"Function": true
}]
}
}

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:
type Foo = { a: Foo, b: Bar }
type Foo = { a: Foo; b: Bar }
type Foo = { [a: string]: Foo, [b: string]: Bar }
type Foo = { [a: string]: Foo; [b: string]: Bar }
type Foo = { (): Foo, (): Bar }
type Foo = { (): Foo; (): Bar }
declare class Foo { a: Foo, }
declare class Foo { a: Foo; }
declare class Foo { [a: string]: Foo, }
declare class Foo { a: Foo; }
declare class Foo { (): Foo, }
declare class Foo { (): Foo; }
declare class Foo { static (): Foo, }
declare class Foo { static (): Foo; }
The following patterns are not considered problems:

declare class Foo { [a: string]: Foo, }
declare class Foo { (): Foo; }
declare class Foo { (): Foo, }
type Foo = { a: Foo, b: Bar }
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 a string option:
The default value is "always"
.
The following patterns are considered problems:
function foo(bar: "A" | "B") {}
const foo: "A" | "B" = "A";
type Foo = { bar: "A" | "B" };
function foo(bar: { n: number } | { s: string }) {}
function foo(bar: { n: number } & { s: string }) {}
const foo: { n: number } & { s: string } = { n: 0, s: "" };
type Foo = { bar: { n: number } & { s: string } };
function foo(bar: { n: number } & { s: string }) {}
The following patterns are not considered problems:
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 };

require-indexer-name
The --fix
option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.
This rule validates Flow object indexer name.
Options
The rule has a string option:
"never"
(default): Never report files that are missing an indexer key name."always"
: Always report files that are missing an indexer key name.
{

require-inexact-type
This rule enforces explicit inexact object types.
Options
The rule has one string option:
"always"
(default): Report all object type definitions that aren't explicit inexact, but ignore exact objects."never"

type foo = {| bar: string |};
type foo = number;
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) => {}
function x(foo) {}
function x(foo) {}
(foo = 'FOO') => {}
(...foo) => {}
({foo}) => {}
([foo]) => {}
({foo = 1} = {}) => {}
(foo) => {}
(foo) => {}
function x(foo) {}
(_foo: number, bar) => {}
(_foo, bar) => {}
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) => {}
(foo) => {}
(foo) => {}
(foo) => 3
(_foo, bar: string) => {}
(_foo: number, bar: string) => {}
(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:
type Props = { };
function MyComponent(props: Props) {
return <p />;
}
type Options = { };
function SomeHelper(options: Options) {
}
function helper() { return <p /> }
function MyComponent(props: Props) {
return helper();
}
The rule only works for locally defined props that are marked with a $ReadOnly
or using covariant notation. It doesn't work with imported props:
import { type ImportedProps } from './somewhere';
class Foo extends React.Component<ImportedProps> { }
type Props = {|
+foo: string
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }
type Props = {|
+foo: string,
bar: number,
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }
type Props = {|
+foo: string,
...bar,
|};
class Bar extends React.Component<Props> { }
{
"rules": {
"flowtype/require-readonly-react-props": 2
}
}
The following patterns are considered problems:
type Props = { }; class Foo extends React.Component<Props> { }
type OtherProps = { foo: string }; class Foo extends React.Component<OtherProps> { }
class Foo extends React.Component<{}> { }
type Props = { bar: {} }; class Foo extends React.Component<Props, State> { }
type Props = { }; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = { }; class Foo extends PureComponent<Props> { }
export type Props = {}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {| foo: string |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {| +foo: string, ...bar |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {| +foo: string, -bar: number |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = { }; function Foo(props: Props) { return <p /> }
type Props = { }; function Foo(props: Props) { return foo ? <p /> : <span /> }
function Foo(props: {}) { return <p /> }
export type Props = {}; function Foo(props: Props) { return <p /> }
The following patterns are not considered problems:
class Foo extends React.Component<$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 = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends React.Component<Props, State> { }
type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends PureComponent<Props> { }
type FooType = {}; class Foo extends Bar<FooType> { }
class Foo { }
export type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; class Foo extends Component<Props, State> { }
export type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; export class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {| +foo: string |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {| +foo: string, +bar: number |}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = $FlowFixMe; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
type Props = {||}; class Foo extends Component<Props> { }
class Foo extends Component<{||}> { }
class Foo extends React.Component<UnknownProps> { }
import { type Props } from "file"; class Foo extends React.Component<Props> { }
type Props = {}; function Foo() { }
type Props = $ReadOnly<{}>; function Foo(props: Props) { }
type Props = {}; function Foo(props: OtherProps) { }
function Foo() { return <p /> }
function Foo(props: $FlowFixMe) { return <p /> }
function Foo(props: {||}) { return <p /> }
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.*",

"flowtype/require-return-type": [
2,
"always",
{

), 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:

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.

}
type FooType = {}
type FooType = {}
opaque type FooType = {};
sort-keys
The --fix
option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.
Enforces sorting of Object annotations.

(default) - enforce ascending sort order."desc"
- enforce descending sort order.
The second option takes an object with two possible properties.
caseSensitive
- if true
, enforce case-sensitive sort order. Default is true
.natural
- if true
, enforce natural sort order. Default is 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}}
type foo = {test: number}; type bar = {...foo}
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 needs a text RegExp to operate with Its signature is as follows:
{
"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:
type foo = {};
type FooType = {};
The following patterns are not considered problems:
type FooType = {};
type foo = {};
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';
import type {A, B} from 'a';
import type {A, B as C} from 'a';
import type A from 'a';
import {type A, type B} from 'a';
The following patterns are not considered problems:
import {type A, type B} from 'a';
import {type A, type B} from 'a';
import type {A, B} from 'a';
import typeof * as A from 'a';
import type A from 'a';
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;
type X = string| number;
type X = string |number;
type X = string|number;
type X = {x: string}|{y: number};
type X = string | number |boolean;
type X = string|number|boolean;

type X =
& string
& number
}
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 {}
declare function A(): Y
declare module A {}
declare module A { declare var a: Y }
declare var A: Y
import type A from "a"; type X<B = ComponentType<A>> = { b: B }; let x: X; console.log(x);
import type A from "a"; type X<B = A<string>> = { b: B }; let x: X; console.log(x);
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") {}
