# Flow Type Checking
Arguments:
– $ARGUMENTS: Renderer to check (default: dom-node)
## Renderers
| Renderer | When to Use |
|———-|————-|
| `dom-node` | Default, recommended for most changes |
| `dom-browser` | Browser-specific DOM code |
| `native` | React Native |
| `fabric` | React Native Fabric |
## Instructions
1. Run `yarn flow $ARGUMENTS` (use `dom-node` if no argument)
2. Report type errors with file locations
3. For comprehensive checking (slow), use `yarn flow-ci`
## Common Mistakes
– **Running without a renderer** – Always specify or use default `dom-node`
– **Ignoring suppressions** – Check if `$FlowFixMe` comments are masking real issues
– **Missing type imports** – Ensure types are imported from the correct package
