Flow CLI

Flow 命令行工具易于在简单情况下使用。

¥The flow command line tool is made to be easy-to-use for simple cases.

使用命令 flow 将类型检查当前目录是否存在 .flowconfig 文件。如果需要，流服务器将自动启动。

¥Using the command flow will type-check your current directory if the .flowconfig file is present. A flow server will automatically be started if needed.

CLI 工具还提供了几个其他选项和命令，允许你控制服务器并构建与 Flow 集成的工具。例如，Nuclide 编辑器与 Flow 集成，在其 UI 中提供自动补齐、类型错误等功能。

¥The CLI tool also provides several other options and commands that allow you to control the server and build tools that integrate with Flow. For example, this is how the Nuclide editor integrates with Flow to provide autocompletion, type errors, etc. in its UI.
