@babel/preset-flow
This preset is recommended if you use Flow, a static type checker for JavaScript code. It includes the following plugins:
Example
In
function foo(one: any, two: number, three?): string {}
Out
function foo(one, two, three) {}
Installation
npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-flow
Usage
With a configuration file (Recommended)
{
"presets": ["@babel/preset-flow"]
}
Via CLI
babel --presets @babel/preset-flow script.js
Via Node API
require("@babel/core").transformSync("code", {
presets: ["@babel/preset-flow"],
});
Options
all
boolean
, defaults to false
.
Flow will only parse Flow-specific features if a @flow
pragma is present atop the file, or the all option is set inside the .flowconfig
.
If you are using the all
option in your Flow config, be sure to set this option to true
to get matching behavior.
For example, without either of the above set, the following call expression with a type argument:
f<T>(e)
Would get parsed as a nested binary expression:
f < T > e;
allowDeclareFields
boolean
, defaults to false
Added in: v7.9.0
NOTE: This will be enabled by default in Babel 8
When enabled, type-only class fields are only removed if they are prefixed with the declare
modifier:
class A {
declare foo: string; // Removed
bar: string; // Initialized to undefined
}
