Version 20.0.0 Details

@types/node provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to leverage the benefits of static typing within their Node.js projects. Comparing version 20.0.0 with the previous stable version 18.19.120, several key differences emerge. Version 20.0.0 boasts a significantly larger unpacked size (3.7 MB versus 2 MB) and file count (125 versus 74), hinting at an increased scope and potentially more comprehensive coverage of Node.js APIs. Notably, version 20.0.0 lists no explicit dependencies, while the older version depends on "undici-types". This change might indicate that the newer version has either integrated the necessary type definitions or relies on newer Node.js features that provide these definitions natively. The release date of version 20.0.0 is in May 2023, compared to the older version July 2025.

For developers, the upgrade to version 20.0.0 potentially means a more complete and accurate representation of the Node.js API surface, leading to fewer type-related errors and improved code completion in their IDEs. The removal of the explicit dependency on "undici-types" could simplify dependency management. However, developers should carefully examine the changelog and test their code after upgrading to ensure compatibility and check for any breaking changes especially those using the undici-types package. The increase in size suggests a more thorough coverage, but it also means a larger download and installation footprint.
