@types/eslint provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, enabling developers to leverage static typing within their ESLint configurations and custom rules. Version 6.1.3 was released on October 23, 2019, subsequent to version 6.1.2 which was released on October 2, 2019. Both versions share the same dependencies: @types/estree and @types/json-schema, indicating a reliance on these packages for representing the abstract syntax tree and JSON schema respectively, crucial for ESLint rule development and configuration. The license remains MIT for both versions, ensuring open-source usage. The repository continues to be hosted on DefinitelyTyped's GitHub, making it a community-driven effort.
A subtle difference exists in the unpacked size of the packages. Version 6.1.3 has an unpacked size of 144376 bytes compared to version 6.1.2's 144290 bytes. This suggests minor updates or fixes were incorporated, potentially addressing typing accuracy, adding definitions for new ESLint features, or improving overall developer experience. While the file count remains the same at 17, the size difference hints at internal adjustments; however, the metadata doesn't provide specifics. Developers should consider updating to the newer version (6.1.3) to benefit from these potential improvements and ensure alignment with the latest ESLint features and best practices. Developers writing custom ESLint rules or configurations in TypeScript will find these type definitions essential for type safety and code completion.
