@types/node-fetch provides TypeScript definitions for the popular node-fetch library, enabling developers to use node-fetch in TypeScript projects with strong typing and improved code completion. Version 2.5.12, released on July 22, 2021, follows closely on the heels of version 2.5.11, which was released on July 7, 2021.
Both versions share identical dependencies, relying on "form-data": "^3.0.0" and "@types/node": "*". This indicates compatibility with form-data version 3.0.0 and any version of @types/node. The core description and license (MIT) remain consistent, signaling no fundamental changes in the library's purpose or usage rights. The repository location on GitHub also remains the same.
The primary differences reside in the dist metadata. Version 2.5.12 exhibits a marginally smaller unpacked size of 11816 bytes compared to 2.5.11's 11818 bytes. This suggests minor code optimizations or adjustments in the type definitions themselves. Crucially, developers aiming for the most up-to-date type information for node-fetch should prefer version 2.5.12. While the file count remains constant at 5, the updated release date signifies that 2.5.12 incorporates the most recent fixes and enhancements related to node-fetch's TypeScript definitions. The newer release date means that it potentially addresses any newly discovered type-related issues for accurate type checking in their projects.
