The @types/node package provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, allowing developers to use TypeScript with Node.js projects and benefit from static typing, improved code completion, and enhanced refactoring capabilities. Version 18.19.35 was released on June 17, 2024, following version 18.19.34, released on June 3, 2024. Both versions share the same dependency on undici-types at version "~5.26.4" and are distributed under the MIT license. The source code for these type definitions is maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.
A key difference between the two versions lies in the unpackedSize of the package – version 18.19.35 is slightly larger at 1968488 bytes compared to 1968434 bytes for version 18.19.34. This suggests minor updates or additions to the type definitions in the newer version. While the fileCount remains constant at 64, the increased unpacked size implies potential refinements or new type declarations addressing specific Node.js APIs or modules. For developers, upgrading to version 18.19.35 ensures they have the most up-to-date type definitions, which can lead to more accurate type checking and fewer false positives or negatives during compilation. Keeping the @types/node package up-to-date is a crucial practice for maintaining a robust and type-safe Node.js codebase. Developers should review the changes, if any, in the DefinitelyTyped repository to understand the specific updates incorporated in version 18.19.35.
