This Babel plugin removes Flow type annotations from your JavaScript code. By stripping these annotations, the plugin prepares your code for execution in environments that don't support Flow syntax. @babel/plugin-transform-flow-strip-types enables compatibility without altering the core logic of your application. It's a crucial step in many Babel-based workflows for ensuring broad browser and runtime compatibility while leveraging the benefits of Flow during development. It integrates seamlessly into your existing Babel configuration.
