This package provides TypeScript definitions for Mocha, a popular JavaScript test framework. It enables type checking and autocompletion when writing Mocha tests in TypeScript projects, improving code quality and developer experience. Specifically, it defines interfaces and types for Mocha's core components like describe, it, before, and after, along with its assertion library integrations, allowing for strongly-typed testing workflows. Using @types/mocha ensures type safety and reduces the likelihood of runtime errors in your tests.
@types/mocha releases were most frequent in 2016 and 2017, with multiple versions per month. Releases slowed significantly after 2018, with many months having no updates at all. There were short bursts of activity in 2020 and 2023, followed by periods of silence. There have been no releases in the seven months of 2025 to date.
@types/mocha downloads show notable growth from February 2024 to August 2025. Starting at 2.4 million, downloads generally increased, peaking in June 2025 at 28.4 million. July saw a decrease to 24.5 million, and August (incomplete data) registers 16.1 million, suggesting potential fluctuation or seasonality.
