Installation

1. Install ESLint.
2. Install babel-eslint parser (ESLint parser does not support type annotations).
3. Install eslint-plugin-flowtype plugin.

npm install eslint
npm install babel-eslint
npm install eslint-plugin-flowtype

Configuration

1. Set parser property to babel-eslint.
2. Add plugins section and specify eslint-plugin-flowtype as a plugin.
3. Enable rules.

  },
  "settings": {
    "flowtype": {

    }
  }
}

Settings

onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation

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

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

Rules

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.

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 want to exclude only concise arrow function (e.g. () => 2). Provide excludeArrowFunctions with expressionsOnly for this.

require-valid-file-annotation

Makes sure that files have a valid @flow annotation. It will report annotations with typos (such as // @floww) or not placed at the top of the file, and optionaly missing annotations.

Options

By default, this rule won't complain if there is no @flow annotation at all in the file. Passing a "always" option reports files missing those annotations as well.

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-valid-file-annotation": [
            2,
            "always"
        ]
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

;// @flow
// Message: Flow file annotation not at the top of the file.

;
// @flow
// Message: Flow file annotation not at the top of the file.

// @Flow
// Message: Malformed flow file annotation.

// @floweeeeeee
// Message: Malformed flow file annotation.

// @NoFlow
// Message: Malformed flow file annotation.

// @nofloweeeeeee
// Message: Malformed flow file annotation.

// Options: ["always"]
a;
// Message: Flow file annotation is missing.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

a;

// @flow
a;

//@flow
a;

//**@flow
a;

/* foo @flow bar */
a;



// @flow
a;

// @flow
// @FLow

// @noflow
a;

// Options: ["always"]
a;

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.

This rule takes one argument. If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no space after the type annotation colon. If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a space after the type annotation colon. The default value is 'always'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

// Options: ["never"]
(foo: string) => {}
// Message: There must be no space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

// Options: ["always"]
(foo:  string) => {}
// Message: There must be 1 space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

// Options: ["always"]
(foo:(() => void)) => {}
// Message: There must be a space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

// Options: ["never"]

// Message: There must be no space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

// Options: ["always"]

// Message: There must be 1 space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

({ lorem, ipsum, dolor } :   SomeType) => {}
// Message: There must be 1 space after "{ lorem, ipsum, dolor }" parameter type annotation colon.

(foo:{ a: string, b: number }) => {}
// Message: There must be a space after "foo" parameter type annotation colon.

({ a, b } :{ a: string, b: number }) => {}
// Message: There must be a space after "{ a, b }" parameter type annotation colon.

// Message: There must be a space after "[ a, b ]" parameter type annotation colon.

space-before-type-colon

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

Enforces consistent spacing before the type annotation colon.

This rule takes one argument. If it is 'always' then a problem is raised when there is no space before the type annotation colon. If it is 'never' then a problem is raised when there is a space before the type annotation colon. The default value is 'never'.

The following patterns are considered problems:

space-before-generic-bracket

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

Enforces consistent spacing before the opening < of generic type annotation parameters.

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

The default value is 'never'.

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

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

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type FooType = {};

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

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}

type A = {}; function x<Y: A>(i: Y) { i }; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

function x<Y: A>(i: Y) { i }; type A = {}; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

function x<Y: A.B.C>(i: Y) { i }; type A = {}; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

valid-syntax

Checks for simple Flow syntax errors.

The following patterns are considered problems:

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