The npm package @types/node provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, essential for developers using TypeScript to build Node.js applications. Comparing version 22.15.31 and 22.15.30, both versions share the same core functionality: TypeScript definitions for Node.js, under the MIT license, maintained in the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub. They also both depend on undici-types version ~6.21.0. There are no peer dependencies declared in either package.
The key differences lie in the release details and the unpacked size of the package. Version 22.15.31 was released on June 10, 2025, while version 22.15.30 came out on June 5, 2025. While the file count for both versions remains constant at 76, the unpacked size shows a minor reduction in the newer version, from 2,359,318 bytes to 2,358,370 bytes, which may indicate some optimization or removal of redundant code in the definitions. Developers should note that the release dates are in the future, which is unusual for package metadata.
For developers, these @types/node packages are crucial for leveraging TypeScript's type safety and code completion features within Node.js projects. By installing the latest version, developers ensure they have the most up-to-date definitions for the Node.js runtime, which aids in preventing runtime errors and improving code maintainability. A more recent version, in this case 22.15.31, may include fixes or improvements over its predecessor. Although the change in unpacked size is marginal, it hints at potential refinements beneficial for development workflows.
