Flow Status Webpack Plugin

This webpack plugin will automatically start a Flow server (or restart if one is running) when webpack starts up, and run flow status after each webpack build. Still experimental.

If you have any idea on how to get it better, you're welcome to contribute!

Requirements

You need to have Flow installed. To do that, follow these steps.

Installation

npm install flow-status-webpack-plugin --save-dev

Usage

var FlowStatusWebpackPlugin = require('flow-status-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    ...
    plugins: [
        new FlowStatusWebpackPlugin()
    ]
}

It will generate an output like this:

or, in case of some error:

Configuration

If you want to pass additional command-line arguments to flow start, you can pass a flowArgs option to the plugin:

var FlowStatusWebpackPlugin = require('flow-status-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    ...
    plugins: [
        new FlowStatusWebpackPlugin({
            flowArgs: '--lib path/to/interfaces/directory'
        })
    ]
}

If you don't want the plugin to automatically restart any running Flow server, pass restartFlow: false:

var FlowStatusWebpackPlugin = require('flow-status-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    ...
    plugins: [
        new FlowStatusWebpackPlugin({
            restartFlow: false
        })
    ]
}
