FAQ*

*Questions that I think will be frequently asked.

Can I use the latest language features?

Yes. The following Babel presets and plugins are configured:

• babel-preset-env
• babel-plugin-transform-class-properties
• babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread
• babel-plugin-transform-dynamic-import-node

What versions of node will my package support?

By default your sources will be transpiled to support Node >=4. You can change the target Node version by using the engines key in your package.json. For example:

{
  "engines": {
    "node": "v8"
  }
}

Can I use types?

Yes! Create a .flowconfig and add // @flow comments to the top of your files. Type information will be exported to ./lib.

You should ignore the ./lib directory. For example:

.flowconfig:

[ignore]
<PROJECT_ROOT>/lib
