The npm package @types/chai-as-promised provides TypeScript definitions for the popular Chai assertion library extension, chai-as-promised. This enables developers using TypeScript to leverage the expressive power of chai-as-promised with full type safety and autocompletion in their tests.
Version 7.1.7, released on October 17, 2023, follows version 7.1.6, released on September 4, 2023. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependency on @types/chai, ensuring compatibility with various Chai versions. They are licensed under the MIT license. The repository url is pointing to the proper folder into the DefinitelyTyped repository.
While the changelog would provide the definitive list of changes, some differences can be extracted. The fileCount field for both versions is 5, which signals that the core structure and number of definition files remain the same. However, the unpackedSize differs slightly: 7.1.7 has an unpacked size of 26064 bytes, compared to 26662 bytes in 7.1.6. This potentially indicates minor code optimizations, typo fixes, or updates to the generated documentation comments that reduced the overall size. Developers upgrading should expect a potentially smaller footprint without any changes in the number of files. In both cases, the tarball can be downloaded directly from the npm registry (URLs provided). The releaseDate is also interesting since provide the exact dates when the packages has been published.
