JSPM – babel-plugin-flow-react-proptypes@3.1.1

Package Exports

babel-plugin-flow-react-proptypes

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (babel-plugin-flow-react-proptypes) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

A babel plugin to generate React PropTypes definitions from Flow type declarations.

Example

With this input:

var React = require('react');

type FooProps = {
  an_optional_string?: string,
  a_number: number,
  a_generic_object: Object,
  array_of_strings: Array<string>,
  instance_of_Bar: Bar,
  anything: any,
  one_of: 'QUACK' | 'BARK' | 5,
  one_of_type: number | string,
  nested_object_level_1: {
    string_property_1: string,
    nested_object_level_2: {
      nested_object_level_3: {
        string_property_3: string,
      },
      string_property_2: string,
    }
  }
}

export default class Foo extends React.Component {
  props: FooProps
}

The output will be:

var React = require('react');

var Foo = function (_React$Component) {
  // babel class boilerplate
}(React.Component)

Foo.propTypes = {
  an_optional_string: React.PropTypes.string,
  a_number: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired,
  a_generic_object: React.PropTypes.object.isRequired,
  array_of_strings: React.PropTypes.arrayOf(React.PropTypes.string).isRequired,
  instance_of_Bar: React.PropTypes.any.isRequired,
  anything: React.PropTypes.any.isRequired,
  one_of: React.PropTypes.oneOf(['QUACK', 'BARK', 5]).isRequired,
  one_of_type: React.PropTypes.oneOfType([React.PropTypes.number, React.PropTypes.string]).isRequired,
  nested_object_level_1: React.PropTypes.shape({
    string_property_1: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired,
    nested_object_level_2: React.PropTypes.shape({
      nested_object_level_3: React.PropTypes.shape({
        string_property_3: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
      }).isRequired,
      string_property_2: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
    }).isRequired
  }).isRequired
};

exports.default = Foo;

Usage

This plugin searches for a React components using type declaration. Works with functional components and ES6 classes. React.createClass is not currently supported.

Install

First install the plugin:

npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-flow-react-proptypes

Also install the prop-types package. This is required for React >=15.5.0. For earlier React versions you can use version 0.21.0 of this plugin, which doesn't use the prop-types pacakge.

npm install --save prop-types

Then add it to your babelrc:

{
  "presets": ["..."],
  "plugins": ["flow-react-proptypes"]
}

To save some bytes in production, you can also only enable it in development mode.

{
  "presets": ["..."],
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": ["flow-react-proptypes"]
    }
  }
}

Suppression

This plugin isn't perfect. You can disable it for an entire file with this directive (including quotes):

'no babel-plugin-flow-react-proptypes';

Specifically for react-native you can disable this for files in node_modules with the ignoreNodeModules config option.

{
  "presets": ["..."],
  "plugins": [["flow-react-proptypes", {ignoreNodeModules: true}]]
}
