Generate Flow type aliases from sample JSON when your React, React Native, or typed JavaScript codebase still relies on Flow instead of migrating to TypeScript.
How to use
Paste a representative JSON payload that matches the response or config shape your Flow-checked code actually consumes.
Review the generated `export type` aliases for nested objects, arrays, and optional properties inferred from the sample.
Copy the aliases into your typed JavaScript module and refine any exactness, utility wrappers, or shared naming conventions your Flow setup expects.
Benefits
Keeps Flow-based projects typed without forcing a TypeScript migration just to scaffold payload contracts.
Produces readable alias output that fits React, React Native, and service modules already checked by Flow.
Reduces manual nested type authoring for larger API responses and configuration payloads.
Best use cases
Legacy React and React Native apps that still use Flow for static checks.
Typed JavaScript service modules that need reusable response aliases from real JSON samples.
Teams maintaining Flow during a gradual migration where full TypeScript adoption is not immediate.
Flow tips
Use realistic payloads so optional properties and nested shapes are inferred in a way that matches production responses.
Keep generated aliases near the API client or shared contract modules that actually consume the payload.
Switch to the TypeScript routes when downstream tooling or shared packages expect TS-native types instead of Flow aliases.
Implementation tips
Choose this route when your current toolchain already uses Flow for static checks.
Review optional properties against real payload variability before treating generated aliases as stable contracts.
Switch to TypeScript routes instead when downstream consumers expect TS-native tooling, declaration emit, or schema inference.
Why use the Flow route instead of the TypeScript type alias route?
Choose Flow when your existing build and lint setup already depends on Flow. Choose the TypeScript routes when the broader project ecosystem, package contracts, or editor tooling is centered on TypeScript.
Does the Flow route handle nested arrays and child objects?
Yes. Nested objects become additional exported Flow aliases, and repeated values are inferred into Flow Array<T> fields based on the sample payload.
