@testing-library/react is a popular library designed to simplify React DOM testing, promoting good testing practices by focusing on user-centric testing. Comparing version 8.0.0 with the earlier 0.0.0, both share a similar foundation. Both versions list identical dependencies like @babel/runtime and @testing-library/dom, crucial for modern JavaScript support and core DOM interaction, respectively. The devDependencies remain consistent, including tools for development workflow and supporting libraries such as react, react-dom, react-router, redux, axios and associated type definitions, signifying a stable development environment across both versions. Peer dependencies also stay the same, requiring react and react-dom.
The key difference lies in the version number itself, with version 8.0.0 representing a significant release compared to the initial 0.0.0. This suggests potential internal improvements, bug fixes, or new features since the initial release. Developers should upgrade to the newer version, 8.0.0, to benefit from any enhancements and ensure compatibility with the latest React ecosystem developments. The dist object differs slightly, with unpacked size of the newer version being marginally larger (1057519 vs 1057505), possibly hinting at added functionalities. The release time is also different, meaning that the newer version obviously contains newer code. Before upgrading it is always recommended to check the changelog for potential breaking changes.
