The npm package @types/eslint provides TypeScript definitions for ESLint, enabling developers to leverage the power of static typing in their ESLint configurations and custom rule development. Comparing version 8.44.6 with the previous stable version, 8.44.5, reveals some noteworthy differences. Both versions share the same dependencies, relying on @types/estree and @types/json-schema for enhanced type safety when working with abstract syntax trees and JSON schemas respectively. Both also use the MIT license and are housed in the DefinitelyTyped repository.
However, a significant difference lies in the package size and content. Version 8.44.6 exhibits a fileCount of 17 and an unpackedSize of 178755, a considerable increase from version 8.44.5's fileCount of 7 and unpackedSize of 58717. This suggests that version 8.44.6 includes more comprehensive type definitions, potentially covering a wider range of ESLint features, configuration options, or rule APIs compared to its predecessor, potentially offering better developer experience and type safety. Developers should be aware of increased download and install times due to the larger package size.
The release dates also indicate that version 8.44.6 was published on October 18, 2023, at 18:18:11 UTC, while version 8.44.5 was released earlier on the same day at 01:57:18 UTC. This temporal proximity suggests that version 8.44.6 might contain important bug fixes or minor feature additions building upon the changes introduced in 8.44.5. Developers should likely prefer the latest version to benefit from the most up-to-date and potentially more stable type definitions.
