flow-bin provides prebuilt Flow binaries for various platforms, simplifying Flow integration into projects. Instead of requiring global Flow installation, it bundles the necessary Flow executable within node_modules, ensuring consistency across development environments. This eliminates potential version conflicts and streamlines continuous integration setups. Using flow-bin, teams can easily adhere to strict type checking without cumbersome setup procedures.
Flow-bin releases have been frequent since its inception, with some months having no releases. The number of releases per month generally increased over time, peaking in 2019 and 2022. After a slight drop through 2024, in 2025 the package is still actively maintained with several versions released each month.
Flow-bin downloads show fluctuating numbers. From February 2024 to August 2025, downloads generally increased, peaking in July 2025 at 2.69 million. August 2025's partial data shows a drop to 1.39 million downloads, which may change once the month concludes.
