No proptype errors on compile time

[kasperpeulen]

I suspected to get some compile time errors, if I forget a required proptype

Webstorm does give me an error, but not eslint. Not sure if this a configuration problem or an eslint problem, but would be cool if this was a compile time error (even if you don't use flow etc.)

PropTypes is a runtime validation by design. I don't know what WebStorm does but it's probably hardcoding all possible options which doesn't seem like a great way going forward.

We do suggest using Flow for this. Did you have a chance to give it a try?

Yeah, I love flow. Ironically, Webstorm doesn't support flow that well.

But okay, I kind of thought that this propTypes syntax was designed so that editors and linters can give helpful hints. But if that is not the case, then I'm just going to hope that better flow support will land in create-react-app 👯 (and Webstorm)
