Exploring Facebook Flow: First Impressions, Gotchas, and Tips

Exploring Facebook Flow: First Impressions, Gotchas, and Tips | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

This post will be part-commentary, part-resource. My goal is to give you, the reader, a better understanding of how to integrate Flow into your projects and avoid any undocumented pain points.

Flow is centered around a server architecture, which allows for online type checking. So, to start, Flow scans your entire project—or, at least, any files marked with the pragma, as Flow's type checking is opt-in. When you later change a file, Flow can intelligently type check the paths in the code that were affected by this change, rather than rescanning the entire project. This leads to big performance gains.

Flow | A static type checker for JavaScript

Flow | A static type checker for JavaScript | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it

Flow is a static type checker for JavaScript. It can be used to catch common bugs in JavaScript programs - such as silent type conversions, null dereferences and so on - often without requiring any changes to your code. It also adds type syntax to JavaScript, so that developers can express invariants about their code and have them maintained automatically.

Flow is used at Facebook but remains very much a work in progress.
