# esbuild-plugin-babel-flow

Esbuild plugin for transformation of code with [Flow](https://flow.org/) annotations


Esbuild plugins have limitations to allow developers to hook into every part of the bundling process. This is a deliberate attempt to prevent creating performance bottlenecks during bundling.
Thankfully, Babel, a javascript code transformer allows you to transform code during the code loading event of the esbuild bundling process.
esbuild-plugin-babel-flow under the hood uses babel's transform api and `@babel/preset-flow` to strip javascript code of flow annotations for safe execution in a javascript environment.

## Install

```bash
npm install esbuild-plugin-babel-flow --save-dev
```


## Usage

`esbuild.config.js`

```js
esbuild
.build({
entryPoints: ['example.flow.js'],
write: true,
bundle: true,
outdir: 'dist',
plugins: [babelFlowPlugin()],
})
.catch(() => process.exit(1));
```

`example.flow.js`

```js
// @flow

function foo(x: ?number): string {
if (x) {
return JSON.stringify(x);
}
return 'default string';
}

foo(55);
```

`dist/example.flow.js`

```js
(() => {
// example.flow.js
function foo(x) {
if (x) {
return JSON.stringify(x);
}
return 'default string';
}
foo(55);
})();
```
