Settings

`onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation`

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

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

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)[]
// Message: Use "Array<?string>", not "(?string)[]"

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = (?string)[]
// Message: Use "Array<?string>", not "(?string)[]"

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<?string>
// Message: Use "(?string)[]", not "Array<?string>"

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<{foo: string}>
// Message: Use "{foo: string}[]", not "Array<{foo: string}>"

type X = (string | number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string | number>", not "(string | number)[]"

type X = (string & number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string & number>", not "(string & number)[]"

type X = [string, number][]
// Message: Use "Array<[string, number]>", not "[string, number][]"

type X = {foo: string}[]
// Message: Use "Array<{foo: string}>", not "{foo: string}[]"

type X = (string => number)[]
// Message: Use "Array<string => number>", not "(string => number)[]"

type X = {
    foo: string,
    bar: number
}[]
// Message: Use "Array<{ foo: string, bar: number }>", not "{ foo: string, bar: number }[]"

type X = {
    foo: string,
    bar: number,
    quo: boolean,
    hey: Date
}[]
// Message: Use "Array<Type>", not "Type[]"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = Array<?string>

// Options: ["verbose"]
type X = Array<?string>

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = (?string)[]

// Options: ["shorthand"]
type X = Array<string>

// Options: ["shorthand"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = Array<?string>

`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 => {}
// Message: undefined

a => a
// Message: undefined

a => {
}
// Message: undefined

a.then(foo => {});
// Message: undefined

a.then(foo => a);

`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
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = bool
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = boolean
// Message: Use "bool", not "boolean"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = boolean

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = boolean

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = bool

// Options: ["boolean"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = bool

`define-flow-type`

Marks Flow type identifiers as defined.

Used to suppress no-undef reporting of type identifiers.

`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.

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = { foo: string, }

`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 X = FooBar<string >
// Message: There must be no space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< string >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<string >

`interface-id-match`

Enforces a consistent naming pattern for interfaces.

Options

This rule requires a text RegExp:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/interface-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:

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

// Options: ["^foo$"]
interface FooType{};
// Message: Interface identifier 'FooType' does not match pattern '/^foo$/u'.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

interface FooType {};

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

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
interface foo {};

`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:

// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["always"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["always-windows"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';
// Message: Expected newline after flow annotation

// Options: ["never"]

// Message: Expected no newline after flow annotation

The following patterns are not considered problems:

// Options: ["always"]
// @flow

import Foo from './foo';

// Options: ["always-windows"]
// @flow

import Foo from './foo';

// Options: ["never"]
// @flow
import Foo from './foo';

`no-duplicate-type-union-intersection-members`

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

Checks for duplicate members of a type union/intersection.

Options

You can disable checking intersection types using checkIntersections.

true (default) - check for duplicate members of intersection members.
false - do not check for duplicate members of intersection members.

{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/no-duplicate-type-union-intersection-members": [
      2,
      {
        "checkIntersections": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

You can disable checking union types using checkUnions.

true (default) - check for duplicate members of union members.
false - do not check for duplicate members of union members.

{
  "rules": {

      2,
      {
        "checkUnions": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

type A = 1 | 2 | 3 | 1;
// Message: Duplicate union member found "1".

type B = 'foo' | 'bar' | 'foo';
// Message: Duplicate union member found "'foo'".

type C = A | B | A | B;
// Message: Duplicate union member found "A".
// Message: Duplicate union member found "B".

`no-flow-fix-me-comments`

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:

// $FlowFixMe I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe TODO abc 47 I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

// $$FlowFixMeProps I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed.

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMeProps I am doing something evil here
const text = 'HELLO';
// Message: $FlowFixMe is treated as `any` and must be fixed. Fix it or match `/TODO [0-9]+/u`.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

const text = 'HELLO';

// Options: ["TODO [0-9]+"]
// $FlowFixMe TODO 48
const text = 'HELLO';

`no-internal-flow-type`

Warns against using internal Flow types such as React$Node, React$Ref and others and suggests using public alternatives instead (React.Node, React.Ref, …).

The following patterns are considered problems:

type X = React$AbstractComponent<Config, Instance>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$AbstractComponent' is not allowed. Use 'React.AbstractComponent' instead.

type X = React$ChildrenArray<string>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ChildrenArray' is not allowed. Use 'React.ChildrenArray' instead.

type X = React$ComponentType<Props>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ComponentType' is not allowed. Use 'React.ComponentType' instead.

type X = React$Config<Prosp, DefaultProps>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$Config' is not allowed. Use 'React.Config' instead.

type X = React$Element<typeof Component>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$Element' is not allowed. Use 'React.Element' instead.

type X = React$ElementConfig<typeof Component>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ElementConfig' is not allowed. Use 'React.ElementConfig' instead.

type X = React$ElementProps<typeof Component>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ElementProps' is not allowed. Use 'React.ElementProps' instead.

type X = React$ElementRef<typeof Component>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ElementRef' is not allowed. Use 'React.ElementRef' instead.

type X = React$ElementType
// Message: Type identifier 'React$ElementType' is not allowed. Use 'React.ElementType' instead.

type X = React$Key
// Message: Type identifier 'React$Key' is not allowed. Use 'React.Key' instead.

type X = React$Node
// Message: Type identifier 'React$Node' is not allowed. Use 'React.Node' instead.

type X = React$Ref<typeof Component>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$Ref' is not allowed. Use 'React.Ref' instead.

type X = React$StatelessFunctionalComponent<Props>
// Message: Type identifier 'React$StatelessFunctionalComponent' is not allowed. Use 'React.StatelessFunctionalComponent' instead.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = React.AbstractComponent<Config, Instance>

type X = React.ChildrenArray<string>

type X = React.ComponentType<Props>

type X = React.Config<Props, DefaultProps>

type X = React.Element<typeof Component>

type X = React.ElementConfig<typeof Component>

type X = React.ElementProps<typeof Component>

type X = React.ElementRef<typeof Component>

type X = React.ElementType

type X = React.Key

type X = React.Node

type X = React.Ref<typeof Component>

type X = React.StatelessFunctionalComponent<Props>

type X = React$Rocks

`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:

function foo(thing): mixed {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

function foo(thing): Promise<mixed> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<mixed>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of mixed type

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:

type X = Array<string>
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

type X = string[]
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of array shorthand notation

const values: Array<Array<string>> = [];
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

let values: Array<Array<string>>;
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

The following patterns are not considered problems:

type X = $ReadOnlyArray<string>

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = [];

const values: $ReadOnlyArray<string>[] = [];

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = new Array();

const values: Array<$ReadOnlyArray<string>> = Array();

`no-primitive-constructor-types`

Disallows use of primitive constructors as types, such as Boolean, Number and String. See more.

`no-types-missing-file-annotation`

Disallows Flow type imports, aliases, and annotations in files missing a valid Flow file declaration (or a @noflow annotation).

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-types-missing-file-annotation": 2
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

type FooType = number;
// Message: Type aliases require valid Flow declaration.

import type A from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

import type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

import {type A} from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

export type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type exports require valid Flow declaration.

function t<T>(): T{}
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

// @flow
const x: number = 42;

/* @flow weak */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
import type A from "a"

/* @noflow */
import {type A} from "a"

/* @noflow */
export type {A} from "a"

// an unrelated comment
// @flow
export type {A} from "a"

`no-unused-expressions`

An extension of ESLint's no-unused-expressions. This rule ignores type cast expressions and optional call 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);  // type error when `Action` is extended with new types
      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
// Message: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.

x?.y
// Message: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

(foo: number)

x?.y()

`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:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false,
            "Object": true,
            "Function": true
        }]
    }
}

// or, the following is equivalent as default is true:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false
        }]
    }
}

The following patterns are considered problems:

function foo(thing): any {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Promise<any> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<any>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Object {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Promise<Object> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<Object>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Function {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

function foo(thing): Promise<Function> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<Function>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

(foo: any) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

(foo: Function) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

(foo?: any) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

(foo?: Function) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

(foo: { a: any }) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

(foo: { a: Object }) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

(foo: any[]) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

type Foo = any
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

type Foo = Function
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

type Foo = { a: any }
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

type Foo = { a: Object }
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

type Foo = { (a: Object): string }
