+
+As your app grows, you can catch and eliminate an entire category of bugs with static typechecking. You can use JavaScript extensions like [Flow](https://flowtype.org/) or [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) to statically typecheck your whole application. In complex applications, we recommend to use Flow or TypeScript for typechecking instead of typechecking with PropTypes.
+
+## Using Flow with React
+
+For trying out Flow, use this [playground](https://flow.org/try/).
+
+Flow and [Babel](http://babeljs.io/) work well together, so it doesn’t take much to adopt Flow as a React user who already uses Babel.
+
+### With babel
+
+Flow and Babel are designed to work great together. It takes just a few steps to set them up together.
+
+If you don’t have Babel setup already, you can do that by following [this guide](http://babeljs.io/docs/setup/).
+
+Once you have Babel setup, 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 bebel-preset-flow
+```
+
+Then add `flow` to your Babel presets config.
+
+```
+{
+  "presets": ["flow"]
+}
+```
+
+### With Create React App
+
+[Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app) already 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 be run as part of create-react-app’s scripts.
+
+## Using TypeScript with React
+
+For a fast dive into TypeScript, go [here](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/).
+
+### With Create React App
+
+All you need to do is:
+
+```
+create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
+```
+
+[react-scripts-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-scripts-ts) is a set of adjustments to take the standard create-react-app project pipeline and bring TypeScript into the mix.
+
+You can also try [typescript-react-starter](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-React-Starter#typescript-react-starter).
