ESLint: Parsing Error: Unexpected token ':'

Question

I'm trying to use ESLint with Flow, but when I test it out in my file ESLint doesn't detect that I'm using static types.

var str: number = 'hello world';

What can I install or how can I make my linter ignore this? The colon, specifically.

Answer 1

Use babel-eslint as parser in .eslintrc:

"parser": "babel-eslint",

Answer 2

You don't need babel, you can just use typescript-eslint.
