@types/eslint provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, a popular JavaScript linting tool, enabling developers to leverage static typing benefits while working with ESLint in TypeScript projects. Version 4.16.2, released on May 8, 2018, offers incremental improvements over its predecessor, version 4.16.1, which was released two weeks prior on April 24, 2018. Both versions share the same core dependencies: @types/estree and @types/json-schema, ensuring compatibility with the estree specification and JSON Schema validation.
While the core functionality remains consistent, subtle differences exist. One notable change is the unpacked size of the package, decreasing from 20407 bytes in version 4.16.1 to 19952 bytes in version 4.16.2. This minor reduction suggests possible optimizations or refinements within the type definitions. Developers using these typings gain enhanced code completion, type checking, and overall developer experience when configuring and extending ESLint within their TypeScript codebases. Upgrading from 4.16.1 to 4.16.2 brings marginal enhancements from the updated release, which also features a slightly different github repository URL (note the added ".git" at the end) , potentially making the newer version slightly more desirable for those seeking the absolute latest refinements that may have been introduced to resolve minor issues or improve type accuracy.
