.flowconfig [include]

Flow 0.328 and later

The [include] section in a .flowconfig file tells Flow to include the specified files or directories. Each line is a glob relative to the project root. Use * to match within one directory and ** to match across directory boundaries. To include a directory recursively, end the pattern with /**. Absolute paths and the <PROJECT_ROOT> placeholder are not supported.

The project root directory (where your .flowconfig lives) is automatically included.

For example, if /path/to/root/.flowconfig contains the following [include] section:

[include]
../externalFile.js
../externalDir/**
../otherProject/*.js
../otherProject/**/coolStuff/**

Then when Flow checks the project in /path/to/root, it will read and watch

1. /path/to/root/ (automatically included)
2. /path/to/externalFile.js
3. Everything under /path/to/externalDir/
4. Any file in /path/to/otherProject/ that ends in .js
5. Everything under any directory named coolStuff/ within /path/to/otherProject

Flow 0.327 and earlier

The following path syntax works in Flow 0.325 and earlier.

The [include] section in a .flowconfig file tells Flow to include the specified files or directories. Including a directory recursively includes all the files under that directory. Symlinks are followed as long as they lead to a file or directory that is also included. Each line in the include section is a path to include. These paths can be relative to the root directory or absolute, and support both single and double star wildcards.

The project root directory (where your .flowconfig lives) is automatically included.

For example, if /path/to/root/.flowconfig contains the following [include] section:

[include]
../externalFile.js
../externalDir/
../otherProject/*.js
../otherProject/**/coolStuff/

Then when Flow checks the project in /path/to/root, it will read and watch

1. /path/to/root/ (automatically included)
2. /path/to/externalFile.js
3. /path/to/externalDir/
4. Any file in /path/to/otherProject/ that ends in .js
5. Any directory under /path/to/otherProject named coolStuff/
