Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/react-dom provides TypeScript definitions for the React DOM library, crucial for developers using React with TypeScript. Version 18.2.0 and 18.0.11 both offer these essential type definitions, ensuring type safety and improved developer experience when working with React DOM elements and APIs within a TypeScript project. Both versions share the same core characteristics: they're licensed under MIT, depend on the @types/react package, and are sourced from the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.

The key difference lies in the specific definitions they provide, aligning with their respective React DOM versions. While both versions offer a complete suite of typings, version 18.2.0 includes updates and refinements that correspond to changes and additions introduced in React DOM 18.2. These might include new event handlers, updated DOM properties, or changes in how existing APIs are typed. Developers upgrading to React 18.2 should also update to @types/react-dom 18.2.0 to guarantee accurate type checking and avoid potential type-related errors. Version 18.2.0, released on April 25, 2023, also shows a slight increase in unpacked size (29069 bytes) compared to version 18.0.11 (28844 bytes), released on February 15, 2023, indicating potentially added or modified type definitions. Using the correct matching version of @types/react-dom with your installed React DOM version remains strongly recommended.
