@babel/preset-flow

This preset is recommended if you use Flow, a static type checker for JavaScript code. It includes the following plugins:

Example

function foo(one: any, two: number, three?): string {}

Out

function foo(one, two, three) {}

npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-flow

{
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-flow"]
}

babel --presets @babel/preset-flow script.js

require("@babel/core").transform("code", {
  presets: ["@babel/preset-flow"],
});

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;

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
}
