Flow-IDE

Flow IDE is a lightweight package that provides IDE features for FlowType for Atom Editor. It's pretty lightweight and robust.

Installation

apm install flow-ide

Setup

1. You will need to install flow-bin into your project!

npm install --save-dev flow-bin

or

yarn add --dev flow-bin

2. You will need // @flow at the top of all files you wish to lint

3. You will need a .flowconfig which can be initialized with flow init if you have flow installed, if not you can use this flowconfig

4. Window: Reload (Ctrl+Shift+F5) to apply changes

Features

• Linting
• Autocomplete
• Jump to declaration (using facebook-atom/hyperclick or facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui)
• Datatip on hover (using facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui)
• Outline of classes, functions, types and variables (using facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui)

Differences to other packages

Differences to facebook/nuclide

• Nuclide is nice and all but it's mostly bloatware for lightweight flow programming

Differences to AtomLinter/linter-flow

• It tries to manage flow servers by itself, I find it annoying

Differences to nmn/autocomplete-flow

• Never worked for me

Differences to LukeHoban/ide-flow

• Outdated and buggy
• No longer maintained
