+Static type checkers like [Flow](https://flowtype.org/) and [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) identify certain types of problems before you even run your code. They can also improve developer workflow by adding features like auto-completion. For this reason, we recommend using Flow or TypeScript instead of `PropTypes` for larger code bases.
+
+## Flow
+
+Below are instructions to add Flow to your React application. (You can learn more about using Flow with React [here](https://flow.org/en/docs/react/).)
+
+### Using Flow with Babel
+
+First install Babel. If you have not already done this, here is a [helpful setup guide](http://babeljs.io/docs/setup/).
+
+Next install `babel-preset-flow` with either [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) or [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).
+
+```bash
+yarn add --dev babel-preset-flow
+# or
+npm install --save-dev babel-preset-flow
+```
+
+Then add `flow` to your Babel presets config.
+
+```json
+{
+  "presets": ["flow"]
+}
+```
+
+### Using Flow with Create React App
+
+[Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app) supports Flow by default. Just [install Flow](https://flow.org/en/docs/install/) and create a `.flowconfig` file by running `flow init`.
+
+```bash
+create-react-app my-app
+cd my-app
+yarn add --dev flow-bin
+yarn run flow init
+```
+
+Flow will now be run as part of `create-react-app`'s scripts.
+
+## TypeScript
+
+You can learn more about using TypeScript with React [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-React-Starter#typescript-react-starter).
+
+### Using TypeScript with Create React App
+
+[react-scripts-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-scripts-ts) automatically configures a `create-react-app` project to support TypeScript. You can use it like this:
+
+```bash
+create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
+```
+
+You can also try [typescript-react-starter](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-React-Starter#typescript-react-starter).
