Sometimes you will come across dependencies that you both don't use in code and aren't defined in flow-typed
. @babel/core
is a good example of this where you don't want it polluting your codebase or causing unnecessarily large diffs during updates. Alternatively you may have some specific libdef version different to what is referenced in package.json and you don't want that swapped out.
You can achieve this with the ignore
property in flow-typed.config.js
The .ignore
file which you can place in ./flow-typed
can solve this by referencing scopes or packages you'd like to explicitly exclude when flow-typed
tries to install/update libdefs for you.
# in `./flow-typed/.ignore`
# libraries are excluded on an exact match basis
