### Shareable configurations

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-configuration-shareable-configurations-recommended"></a>
#### Recommended

This plugin exports a [recommended configuration](./src/configs/recommended.json) that enforces Flow type good practices.

To enable this configuration use the extends property in your `.eslintrc` config file:

```json
{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:flowtype/recommended"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "flowtype"
  ]
}
```

See [ESLint documentation](http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#extending-configuration-files) for more information about extending configuration files.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-settings"></a>
## Settings

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-settings-onlyfileswithflowannotation"></a>
### <code>onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation</code>

When `true`, only checks files with a [`@flow` annotation](http://flowtype.org/docs/about-flow.html#gradual) in the first comment.

```js
{
  "settings": {
    "flowtype": {
      "onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation": true
    }
  }
}
```

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules"></a>
## Rules

<!-- Rules are sorted alphabetically. -->

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-boolean-style"></a>
### <code>boolean-style</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces a particular style for boolean type annotations. This rule takes one argument.

If it is `'boolean'` then a problem is raised when using `bool` instead of `boolean`.

If it is `'bool'` then a problem is raised when using `boolean` instead of `bool`.

The default value is `'boolean'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type X = bool
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = bool
// Message: Use "boolean", not "bool"

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = boolean
// Message: Use "bool", not "boolean"
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
type X = boolean

// Options: ["boolean"]
type X = boolean

// Options: ["bool"]
type X = bool

// Options: ["boolean"]
// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type X = bool
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-define-flow-type"></a>
### <code>define-flow-type</code>

Marks Flow type identifiers as defined.

Used to suppress [`no-undef`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-undef) reporting of type identifiers.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
var a: AType
// Additional rules: {"no-undef":2}

var a: AType; var b: AType
// Additional rules: {"no-undef":2}

var a; (a: AType)

// Additional rules: {"no-undef":2,"no-use-before-define":[2,"nofunc"]}
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-delimiter-dangle"></a>
### <code>delimiter-dangle</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent use of trailing commas in Object and Tuple annotations.

This rule takes one argument which mirrors ESLint's default `comma-dangle` rule.

If it is `'never'` then a problem is raised when there is a trailing comma.

If it is `'always'` then a problem is raised when there is no trailing comma.

If it is `'always-multiline'` then a problem is raised when there is no trailing comma on a multi-line definition, or there _is_ a trailing comma on a single-line definition.

If it is `'only-multiline'` then a problem is raised when there is a trailing comma on a single-line definition. It allows, but does not enforce, trailing commas on multi-line definitions.

The default value is `'never'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type X = { foo: string, }
// Message: Unexpected trailing delimiter

// Options: ["never"]
type X = { foo: string, }
// Message: Unexpected trailing delimiter

// Options: ["never"]

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-generic-spacing"></a>
### <code>generic-spacing</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent spacing within generic type annotation parameters.

This rule takes one argument. If it is `'never'` then a problem is raised when there is a space surrounding the generic type parameters. If it is `'always'` then a problem is raised when there is no space surrounding the generic type parameters.

The default value is `'never'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type X = Promise< string>
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["never"]
type X = Promise<  string>
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

type X = FooBar<string >
// Message: There must be no space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< string >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

type X = Promise< (foo), bar, (((baz))) >
// Message: There must be no space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be no space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<string >
// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = FooBar< string>
// Message: There must be a space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<string>
// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be a space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<(foo), bar, (((baz)))>
// Message: There must be a space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation
// Message: There must be a space at end of "Promise" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = FooBar<  string >
// Message: There must be one space at start of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = FooBar< string  >
// Message: There must be one space at end of "FooBar" generic type annotation

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<  (foo), bar, (((baz)))  >
// Message: There must be one space at start of "Promise" generic type annotation

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-dupe-keys"></a>
### <code>no-dupe-keys</code>

Checks for duplicate properties in Object annotations.

This rule mirrors ESLint's [no-dupe-keys](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-dupe-keys) rule.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-dupe-keys": 2
    }
}
```

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type f = { a: number, b: string, a: number }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { a: number, b: string, a: string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: "a"): string, get(key: "a"): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: 1): string, get(key: 1): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: 1.1): string, get(key: 1.1): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: true): string, get(key: true): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

type f = { get(key: {a: 1}): string, get(key: {a: 1}):string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var a = "a"; type f = { get(key: a): string, get(key: a): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var b = 1; type f = { get(key: b): string, get(key: b): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var c = true; type f = { get(key: c): string, get(key: c): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var d = {}; type f = { get(key: d): string, get(key: d): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var e = []; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

var e = [1, "a"]; type f = { get(key: e): string, get(key: e): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

function fn() {}; type f = { get(key: fn): string, get(key: fn): string }
// Message: Duplicate property.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-mutable-array"></a>
### <code>no-mutable-array</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Requires use of [`$ReadOnlyArray`](https://github.com/facebook/flow/blob/v0.46.0/lib/core.js#L185) instead of just `Array` or array [shorthand notation](https://flow.org/en/docs/types/arrays/#toc-array-type-shorthand-syntax). `$ReadOnlyArray` is immutable array collection type and the superclass of Array and tuple types in Flow. Use of `$ReadOnlyArray` instead of `Array` can solve some "problems" in typing with Flow (e.g., [1](https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/3425), [2](https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/4251)).

General reasons for using immutable data structures:

* They are simpler to construct, test, and use
* They help to avoid temporal coupling
* Their usage is side-effect free (no defensive copies)
* Identity mutability problem is avoided
* They always have failure atomicity
* They are much easier to cache

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type X = Array<string>
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of "Array"

type X = string[]
// Message: Use "$ReadOnlyArray" instead of array shorthand notation
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
type X = $ReadOnlyArray<string>
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-primitive-constructor-types"></a>
### <code>no-primitive-constructor-types</code>

Disallows use of primitive constructors as types, such as `Boolean`, `Number` and `String`. [See more](https://flowtype.org/docs/builtins.html).

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-primitive-constructor-types": 2
    }
}
```

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type x = Number
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

type x = String
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

type x = Boolean
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.

type x = { a: Number }
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

type x = { a: String }
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

type x = { a: Boolean }
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.

(x: Number) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of Number constructor type.

(x: String) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of String constructor type.

(x: Boolean) => {}
// Message: Unexpected use of Boolean constructor type.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
type x = number

type x = string

type x = boolean

type x = { a: number }

type x = { a: string }

type x = { a: boolean }

(x: number) => {}

(x: string) => {}

(x: boolean) => {}

type x = MyNumber

type x = MyString

type x = MyBoolean
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-types-missing-file-annotation"></a>
### <code>no-types-missing-file-annotation</code>

Disallows Flow type imports, aliases, and annotations in files missing a valid Flow file declaration (or a @noflow annotation).

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-types-missing-file-annotation": 2
    }
}
```

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

type FooType = number;
// Message: Type aliases require valid Flow declaration.

import type A from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

import type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

import {type A} from "a"
// Message: Type imports require valid Flow declaration.

export type {A} from "a"
// Message: Type exports require valid Flow declaration.

function t<T>(): T{}
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
const x: number = 42;
// Message: Type annotations require valid Flow declaration.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
// @flow
const x: number = 42;

/* @flow weak */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
type FooType = number;

/* @noflow */
import type A from "a"

/* @noflow */
import {type A} from "a"

/* @noflow */
export type {A} from "a"

// an unrelated comment
// @flow
export type {A} from "a"
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-unused-expressions"></a>
### <code>no-unused-expressions</code>

An extension of [ESLint's `no-unused-expressions`](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-expressions).
This rule ignores type cast expressions, but otherwise behaves the same as ESLint's
`no-unused-expressions`.

Bare type casts are useful, for example to assert the exhaustiveness of a `switch`:

```js
type Action
  = { type: 'FOO', doFoo: (_: number) => void }
  | { type: 'BAR', doBar: (_: string) => void };

type State = { foo: number, bar: string };

function runFooBar(action: Action, state: State): void {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'FOO':
      doFoo(state.foo);
      break;
    case 'BAR':
      doBar(state.bar);
      break;
    default:
      (action: empty);  // type error when `Action` is extended with new types
      console.error(`Impossible action: ${action.toString()}`);
  }
}
```

This rule takes the same arguments as ESLint's `no-unused-expressions`. See
[that rule's documentation](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-expressions) for details.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
foo + 1
// Message: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
(foo: number)
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-no-weak-types"></a>
### <code>no-weak-types</code>

Warns against weak type annotations *any*, *Object* and *Function*.
These types can cause flow to silently skip over portions of your code,
which would have otherwise caused type errors.

This rule optionally takes one argument, an object to configure which type warnings to enable. By default, all of the
warnings are enabled. e.g. to disable the `any` warning (allowing it to exist in your code), while continuing to warn
about `Object` and `Function`:

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false,
            "Object": true,
            "Function": true
        }]
    }
}

// or, the following is equivalent as default is true:

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/no-weak-types": [2, {
            "any": false
        }]
    }
}
```

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
function foo(thing): any {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Promise<any> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<any>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

function foo(thing): Object {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Promise<Object> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<Object>> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

function foo(thing): Function {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

function foo(thing): Promise<Function> {}
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<Function>> {}

// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

class Foo { props: Object }
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

var foo: any
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"

// Options: [{"Function":false}]
type X = any; type Y = Function; type Z = Object
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "any"
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Object"

// Options: [{"Object":false,"any":false}]
type X = any; type Y = Function; type Z = Object
// Message: Unexpected use of weak type "Function"
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js

function foo(thing): Promise<Promise<string>> {}

(foo?: string) => {}

(foo: ?string) => {}

```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-object-type-delimiter"></a>
### <code>object-type-delimiter</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent separators between properties in Flow object types.

This rule takes one argument.

If it is `'comma'` then a problem is raised when using `;` as a separator.

If it is `'semicolon'` then a problem is raised when using `,` as a separator.

The default value is `'comma'`.

_This rule is ported from `babel/flow-object-type`, however the default option was changed._

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
// Options: ["semicolon"]
type Foo = { a: Foo, b: Bar }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]
type Foo = { a: Foo; b: Bar }
// Message: Prefer commas to semicolons in object and class types

// Options: ["semicolon"]
type Foo = { [a: string]: Foo, [b: string]: Bar }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]
type Foo = { [a: string]: Foo; [b: string]: Bar }
// Message: Prefer commas to semicolons in object and class types

// Options: ["semicolon"]
type Foo = { (): Foo, (): Bar }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]
type Foo = { (): Foo; (): Bar }
// Message: Prefer commas to semicolons in object and class types

declare class Foo { a: Foo, }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]
declare class Foo { a: Foo; }
// Message: Prefer commas to semicolons in object and class types

// Options: ["semicolon"]
declare class Foo { [a: string]: Foo, }
// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]
declare class Foo { a: Foo; }
// Message: Prefer commas to semicolons in object and class types

// Message: Prefer semicolons to commas in object and class types

// Options: ["comma"]

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-parameter-type"></a>
### <code>require-parameter-type</code>

Requires that all function parameters have type annotations.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-parameter-type-options"></a>
#### Options

You can skip all arrow functions by providing the `excludeArrowFunctions` option with `true`.

Alternatively, you can want to exclude only concise arrow functions (e.g. `x => x * 2`). Provide `excludeArrowFunctions` with `expressionsOnly` for this.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": "expressionsOnly"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

You can exclude parameters that match a certain regex by using `excludeParameterMatch`.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-parameter-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeParameterMatch": "^_"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

This excludes all parameters that start with an underscore (`_`).
The default pattern is `a^`, which doesn't match anything, i.e., all parameters are checked.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":true}]
function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

(foo = 'FOO') => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

(...foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

({foo}) => {}
// Message: Missing "{foo}" parameter type annotation.

([foo]) => {}
// Message: Missing "[foo]" parameter type annotation.

({foo = 1} = {}) => {}
// Message: Missing "{foo = 1}" parameter type annotation.

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
// @flow
(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
(foo) => {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
function x(foo) {}
// Message: Missing "foo" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo: number, bar) => {}
// Message: Missing "bar" parameter type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo, bar) => {}
// Message: Missing "bar" parameter type annotation.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
(foo: string) => {}

(foo: string = 'FOO') => {}

(...foo: string) => {}

({foo}: {foo: string}) => {}

([foo]: Array) => {}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
(foo) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":true}]
(foo) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeArrowFunctions":"expressionsOnly"}]
(foo) => 3

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo, bar: string) => {}

// Options: [{"excludeParameterMatch":"^_"}]
(_foo: number, bar: string) => {}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
(foo) => {}
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-return-type"></a>
### <code>require-return-type</code>

Requires that functions have return type annotation.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-return-type-options"></a>
#### Options

You can skip all arrow functions by providing the `excludeArrowFunctions` option with `true`.

Alternatively, you can exclude a concise arrow function (e.g. `() => 2`). Provide `excludeArrowFunctions` with `expressionsOnly` for this.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeArrowFunctions": "expressionsOnly"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

You can exclude or include specific tests with the `includeOnlyMatching` and `excludeMatching` rules.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "includeOnlyMatching": [
                  "^F.*",
                  "Ba(r|z)"
              ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-return-type": [
            2,
            "always",
            {
              "excludeMatching": [
                  "^F.*",
                  "Ba(r|z)"
              ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

```

Both rules take an array that can contain either strings or valid RegExp statements.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-valid-file-annotation"></a>
### <code>require-valid-file-annotation</code>

This rule validates Flow file annotations.

This rule can optionally report missing or missed placed annotations, common typos (e.g. `// @floww`), and enforce a consistant annotation style.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-valid-file-annotation-options"></a>
#### Options

The rule has a string option:

* `"never"` (default): Never report files that are missing an `@flow` annotation.
* `"always"`: Always report files that are missing an `@flow` annotation

This rule has an object option:

* `"annotationStyle"` - Enforce a consistant file annotation style.
    * `"none"` (default): Either annotation style is accepted.
    * `"line"`: Require single line annotations (i.e. `// @flow`).
    * `"block"`: Require block annotations (i.e. `/* @flow */`).

```js

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-variable-type"></a>
### <code>require-variable-type</code>

Requires that all variable declarators have type annotations.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-require-variable-type-options"></a>
#### Options

You can exclude variables that match a certain regex by using `excludeVariableMatch`.

This excludes all parameters that start with an underscore (`_`).
The default pattern is `a^`, which doesn't match anything, i.e., all parameters are checked.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-variable-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeVariableMatch": "^_"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```


You can choose specific variable types (`var`, `let`, and `const`) to ignore using `excludeVariableTypes`.

This excludes `var` and `let` declarations from needing type annotations, but forces `const` declarations to have it.
By default, all declarations are checked.

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/require-variable-type": [
            2,
            {
              "excludeVariableTypes": {
                "var": true,
                "let": true,
                "const": false,
              }
            }
        ]
    }
}
```



The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
var foo = "bar"
// Message: Missing "foo" variable type annotation.

var foo : string = "bar", bar = 1
// Message: Missing "bar" variable type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeVariableMatch":"^_"}]
var _foo = "bar", bar = 1
// Message: Missing "bar" variable type annotation.

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"let":false,"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1; const oob : string = "oob"; let hey = "yah"
// Message: Missing "hey" variable type annotation.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
var foo : string = "bar"

var foo : string = "bar", bar : number = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableMatch":"^_"}]
var _foo = "bar", bar : number = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1

// Options: [{"excludeVariableTypes":{"let":true,"var":true}}]
var foo = "bar", bar = 1; const oob : string = "oob"; let hey = "yah"
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-semi"></a>
### <code>semi</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent use of semicolons after type aliases.

This rule takes one argument. If it is `'never'` then a problem is raised when there is a semicolon after a type alias. If it is `'always'` then a problem is raised when there is no semicolon after a type alias.

The default value is `'always'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
// Options: []
type FooType = {}
// Message: Missing semicolon.

// Options: ["always"]
type FooType = {}
// Message: Missing semicolon.

// Options: ["never"]
type FooType = {};
// Message: Extra semicolon.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
type FooType = {};

// Options: ["always"]
type FooType = {};

// Options: ["always"]
type FooType = { a: number;
 b: string;
 };

// Options: ["never"]
type FooType = { a: number;
 b: string;
 }

// Options: ["never"]
type FooType = {}

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type FooType = {}
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-sort-keys"></a>
### <code>sort-keys</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces sorting of Object annotations.

This rule mirrors ESlint's [sort-keys](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/sort-keys) rule.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-sort-keys-options"></a>
#### Options

The first option specifies sort order.

* `"asc"` (default) - enforce ascending sort order.
* `"desc"` - enforce descending sort order.

The second option takes an object with two possible properties.

* `caseSensitive` - if `true`, enforce case-sensitive sort order. Default is `true`.
* `natural` - if `true`, enforce [natural sort order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order). Default is `false`.

```js
{
  "rules": {
    "flowtype/sort-keys": [
      2,
      "asc", {
        "caseSensitive": true,

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-space-before-generic-bracket"></a>
### <code>space-before-generic-bracket</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent spacing before the opening `<` of generic type annotation parameters.

This rule takes one argument. If it is `'never'` then a problem is raised when there is a space before the `<`. If it is `'always'` then a problem is raised when there is no space before the `<`.

The default value is `'never'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type X = Promise <string>
// Message: There must be no space before "Promise" generic type annotation bracket

// Options: ["never"]
type X = Promise <string>
// Message: There must be no space before "Promise" generic type annotation bracket

type X = Promise  <string>
// Message: There must be no space before "Promise" generic type annotation bracket

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise<string>
// Message: There must be a space before "Promise" generic type annotation bracket

// Options: ["always"]
type X = Promise  <string>
// Message: There must be one space before "Promise" generic type annotation bracket
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-type-id-match"></a>
### <code>type-id-match</code>

Enforces a consistent naming pattern for type aliases.

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-type-id-match-options"></a>
#### Options

This rule needs a text RegExp to operate with Its signature is as follows:

```js
{
    "rules": {
        "flowtype/type-id-match": [
            2,
            "^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$"
        ]
    }
}
```

`'^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$'` is the default pattern.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js
type foo = {};
// Message: Type identifier 'foo' does not match pattern '/^([A-Z][a-z0-9]*)+Type$/'.

// Options: ["^foo$"]
type FooType = {};
// Message: Type identifier 'FooType' does not match pattern '/^foo$/'.
```

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
type FooType = {};

// Options: ["^foo$"]
type foo = {};

// Settings: {"flowtype":{"onlyFilesWithFlowAnnotation":true}}
type foo = {};
```



<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-union-intersection-spacing"></a>
### <code>union-intersection-spacing</code>

_The `--fix` option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule._

Enforces consistent spacing around union and intersection type separators (`|` and `&`).

This rule takes one argument. If it is `'always'` then a problem is raised when there is no space around the separator. If it is `'never'` then a problem is raised when there is a space around the separator.

The default value is `'always'`.

The following patterns are considered problems:

```js

<a name="eslint-plugin-flowtype-rules-use-flow-type"></a>
### <code>use-flow-type</code>

Marks Flow [type alias](https://flowtype.org/docs/type-aliases.html) declarations as used.

Used to suppress [`no-unused-vars`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars) errors that are triggered by type aliases.

The following patterns are not considered problems:

```js
declare class A {}
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare function A(): Y
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare module A {}
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare module A { declare var a: Y }
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

declare var A: Y
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

import type A from "a"; (function<T: A>(): T {})
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

(function<T: A>(): T {}); import type A from "a"
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

import type {A} from "a"; (function<T: A>(): T {})
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

(function<T: A>(): T {}); import type {A} from "a"
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

(function<T: A>(): T {}); import type {a as A} from "a"
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

type A = {}; function x<Y: A>(i: Y) { i }; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

function x<Y: A>(i: Y) { i }; type A = {}; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

type A = {}; function x<Y: A.B.C>(i: Y) { i }; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}

function x<Y: A.B.C>(i: Y) { i }; type A = {}; x()
// Additional rules: {"no-unused-vars":1}
```
