# Flow Typing
`redux-form` supports static typing with [Flow](https://flow.org). Flow should
automatically import the types when you import the components and functions from
`redux-form`. In addition, you may import types for all the props provided by
`redux-form` to your components.
If you ignore your `node_modules` folder inside your `.flowconfig`, the types will not import and you will receive an error:
```
3: import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
^^^^^^^^^^^^ redux-form. Required module not found
```
Inside your `.flowconfig`, ensure the entire folder is not ignored:
```
...
[ignore]
<PROJECT_ROOT>/node_modules/editions # you can still selectively ignore packages that cause flow errors
[include]
...
```
## Props Types
This will give you the types of the
[`props`](https://redux-form.com/8.2.2/docs/api/Props.md/) that will be injected
into your decorated form component by the `reduxForm()` higher order component.
### `FormProps`
```jsx
import type { FormProps } from 'redux-form'
type Props = {
someCustomThing: string
} & FormProps
// ^^^^^^^^^^
class MyForm extends React.Component {
props: Props
render() {
const { handleSubmit, someCustomThing } = this.props
return <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>// fields here</form>
}
}
```
### `FieldProps`
This will give you the shape of the props provided from
[`Field`](https://redux-form.com/8.2.2/docs/api/Field.md/) to your field
component.
```jsx
import type { FieldProps } from 'redux-form'
const renderField = ({ input, meta, ...rest } : FieldProps) =>
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<div>
<input {...input} {...rest}/>
{meta.touched && meta.error && <div>{meta.error}</div>}
</div>
...
<Field name="myField" component={renderField}/>
```
### `FieldsProps`
This will give you the shape of the props provided from
[`Fields`](https://redux-form.com/8.2.2/docs/api/Fields.md/) to your fields
component.
```jsx
import type { FieldsProps } from 'redux-form'
const renderField = (fields : FieldsProps) =>
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<div>
{fields.map(({ input, meta, ...rest }) =>
<div>
<input {...input} {...rest}/>
{meta.touched && meta.error && <div>{meta.error}</div>}
</div>)
}
</div>
...
<Fields names={[ 'firstField', 'secondField' ]} component={renderFields}/>
```
### `FieldArrayProps`
This will give you the shape of the props provided from
[`FieldArray`](https://redux-form.com/8.2.2/docs/api/FieldArray.md/) to your
field array component.
```jsx
import type { FieldArrayProps } from 'redux-form'
const renderFieldArray = ({ fields } : FieldArrayProps) =>
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<ul>
{fields.map((name, index, fields) => (
<li key={index}>
<Field
name={`${name}.firstName`}
type="text"
component={renderField}
label="First Name"/>
<Field
name={`${name}.lastName`}
type="text"
component={renderField}
label="Last Name"/>
</li>
))}
</ul>
...
<FieldArray name="contacts" component={renderFieldArray}/>
```
