@types/node version 12.20.35 is a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, succeeding version 12.20.34. Both versions provide essential type information, making Node.js development smoother and more efficient for TypeScript developers. They offer autocomplete suggestions, static type checking, and enhanced code maintainability by defining the shape of Node.js APIs. Both packages are distributed under the MIT license, allowing for broad use and modification. The source code is maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, a central hub for community-driven TypeScript type definitions.
A core difference between the versions lies in their unpacked size, with 12.20.35 being slightly larger at 753718 bytes compared to 12.20.34 at 753657 bytes. This small increase likely reflects minor additions or refinements to the type definitions, such as updated interfaces or the inclusion of new properties. The release date also differentiates them, with 12.20.35 published on October 25, 2021, after version 12.20.34, which was released on October 22, 2021. While the dependency list remains empty in both versions, developers can expect that these packages are compatible with the corresponding Node.js version (v12.20) and improve the coding experience by reducing potential runtime errors through compile-time type safety which makes it a valuable upgrade for TypeScript-based Node.js projects. The update also fixes and patches some stuff from the older version making it the ideal choice.
