linter-flowtype

Lightweight Flow integration for Atom. The package provides linting, autocomplete suggestions, outline support, and jump-to-declaration.

Installation

Either search for linter-flowtype in the editor UI or install via apm:

apm install linter-flowtype

Features

Settings

Settings can be configured either in the Preferences or by editing ~/.atom/config.cson:

'linter-flowtype':
  lintOnChange: true
  onlyLintIfConfigExists: true
  showUncovered: false
  executablePath: ''
  useLocalFlowBin: true
  hyperclickPriority: 0
  • lintOnChange - if disabled, linting will only happen when a file is saved
  • onlyLintIfConfigExists - only lint if a .flowconfig file exists
  • showUncovered - if enabled, display uncovered lines
  • executablePath - if set, this path will be used to run flow (otherwise it will use flow from the PATH or from node_modules)
  • useLocalFlowBin - if true, it will look for flow installed in the local node_modules hyperclickPriority - the priority of Hyperclick suggestions

Alternatives

The motivation for the creation of this package was to support as-you-type linting in addition to other integrations like using flow from node_modules, autocomplete, and outline support. It began as a fork of flow-ide, incorporating features from many other packages.

Alternatives to this package include:

  • Nuclide - a fully-featured IDE, but comes with many unnecessary features if you only need a lightweight Flow integration (support for other languages, a replacement UI, etc.)
  • ide-flow - this package started as a fork of ide-flow, adding linting as-you-type, outline support, and additional configuration options
  • linter-flow - this package supports as-you-type linting, but is missing all other features and doesn't display the full flow error message details on error
  • autocomplete-flow - only adds autocomplete support
