Module Types

 

Importing and exporting types

It is often useful to share types in between modules (files). In Flow, you can export type aliases, interfaces, and classes from one file and import them in another.

exports.js

1
2
3
 
export default class Foo {};
export type MyObject = { /* ... */ };
export interface MyInterface { /* ... */ };

imports.js

1
 
import type Foo, {MyObject, MyInterface} from './exports';

Importing and exporting values

Flow also supports importing the type of values exported by other modules using typeof.

exports.js

1
2
3
4
 
export default const myNumber = 42;
export class MyClass {
  // ...
}

imports.js

1
2
 
import typeof myNumber from './exports';
import typeof {MyClass} from './exports';

Just like other type imports, this code will be stripped away by a compiler and will not add a dependency on the other module.
