The @types/eslint package provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, enabling developers to leverage static typing and improved code completion within their TypeScript projects when working with ESLint. Comparing version 7.28.0 with the prior stable version, 7.2.14, reveals subtle yet potentially important changes for TypeScript users. Both versions share the same core dependencies on @types/estree and @types/json-schema, indicating a consistent foundation for representing JavaScript syntax trees and JSON schema validation. The license remains MIT, assuring developers of liberal usage rights.
Crucially, the unpacked size of version 7.28.0 (164085 bytes) is marginally larger than version 7.2.14 (164044 bytes), suggesting minor updates or additions to the type definitions themselves. While the file count remains constant at 18, the extra bytes of definitions could represent fixes, improved type accuracy, or the addition of new ESLint features support. The release date difference highlights the continuous maintenance of this package, with version 7.28.0 released a week after 7.2.14; it suggests a steady stream of updates. For developers, the upgrade from 7.2.14 to 7.28.0 likely involves incremental improvements to type safety when using ESLint in TypeScript projects. While the core functionality remains the same, this latest version may offer more accurate or complete type representations of ESLint features, leading to a somewhat better development experience and tighter static analysis of their code. TypeScript users should therefore consider updating to get the latest type definitions, even if the changes are not drastic.
