Version 12.12.0 Details

@types/node version 12.12.0 offers the latest TypeScript definitions for Node.js, building upon the stable foundation established in version 12.11.7. While both versions share a common structure, license (MIT), and source repository (DefinitelyTyped on GitHub), a key difference lies in their respective release dates and sizes. Version 12.12.0 became available on October 29, 2019, a few days after version 12.11.7 released on October 24, 2019. This indicates a relatively rapid iteration cycle, possibly addressing minor bug fixes, or incorporating newly released Node.js features.

Developers will find the newer version subtly larger, with an unpacked size of 656255 bytes compared to 654624 bytes in the previous version. Although the number of files included (50) remains the same, this small size increase potentially includes added or updated type definitions offering improved type safety and enhanced developer experience when working with Node.js APIs in TypeScript projects. Developers should always prefer to use the latest version to leverage any recent improvements to the library. It is always recommended to consult the official changelog on the DefinitelyTyped repository for a detailed breakdown of specific changes to understand the scope of the refinements to type definitions and ensure compatibility between their TypeScript code and Node.js runtime.
