About this fork

• Enables the flow type-checking of directories. Flow's binary is optimized for taking directories as input. Leveraging this can dramatically improve performance over the original repository, for larger codebases.
• Uses textual output rather than JSON output, so error output is not truncated.
• Removes outdated options that flow no longer supports.
• Removed the abort option, effectively making it the default behavior.

gulp-flowtype

Run Facebook's Flow in your gulp pipeline

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev gulp-flowtype

Running Windows?

Flow hasn't provided an official binary as of yet, you can follow the issue here #6.

If you do manage to compile flow and get it running. You can set the path to your own executable using an environment variable.

$ set FLOW_BIN=/path/to/flow

Usage

var react = require('gulp-react');
var flow = require('gulp-flowtype');
 
gulp.task('typecheck', function() {
  return gulp.src('./*.js')
    .pipe(flow({
        all: false,
        weak: false,
        declarations: './declarations',
        killFlow: false,
        beep: true,
        abort: false
    }))
    .pipe(react({ stripTypes: true })) // Strip Flow type annotations before compiling
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./out'));
});

Options
