Description

Thera are so many requests for typescript types and typescript seems to be a better alternative. What if we are able to generate flow types from typescript and cover both groups? I really hate dividing community on this.

Research direction
Investigate the flowgen library (https://github.com/joarwilk/flowgen) to assess its capability to convert TypeScript type definitions to Flow types. Evaluate if it can be integrated into the JSS build process to automatically generate .flow files from existing TypeScript types. Consider the trade offs and potential issues identified in the 14 comments on this issue.
