The @types/eslint package provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, enabling developers to leverage the benefits of static typing when working with ESLint in TypeScript projects. Version 8.4.6, released on August 19, 2022, follows the previous stable version 8.4.5, released on June 30, 2022. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on @types/estree and @types/json-schema for representing the abstract syntax tree and JSON schema structures, respectively. The license remains MIT, ensuring developers have the freedom to use and modify the definitions. The source code for these definitions resides in the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.
While the fundamental structure and dependencies remain consistent, version 8.4.6 introduces subtle refinements. The unpacked size of version 8.4.6 is slightly larger at 164748 bytes, compared to 163331 bytes for version 8.4.5, which indicates possible additions or modifications to the type definitions. Although the file count remains constant at 17, changes within those files could account for the size difference. This suggests version 8.4.6 likely incorporates updates to better align with the latest ESLint features or address specific typing issues identified in the previous version. Developers upgrading to version 8.4.6 can expect improved type safety and potentially enhanced compatibility with recent ESLint releases, ensuring a smoother integration between ESLint and their TypeScript code. It's advisable to review the changelog or commit history within the DefinitelyTyped repository for a detailed breakdown of the specific changes introduced in version 8.4.6.
