Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@types/react version 18.0.12 is a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for the popular React library, succeeding version 18.0.11. Both versions provide essential type information for developers using React with TypeScript, ensuring type safety and improved developer experience. The core purpose of these definitions remains consistent: to facilitate the seamless integration of React's component-based architecture with TypeScript's static typing.

A noticeable change between the two versions is the release date, with version 18.0.12 being published on June 5th, 2022, succeeding the release of version 18.0.11, published on June 4th, 2022. While both versions share the same dependencies – csstype, @types/scheduler, and @types/prop-types – indicating a continued reliance on these packages for styling, scheduling, and property validation, a slight difference is noted in the unpacked size. Version 18.0.12 has an unpacked size of 175235 bytes compared to 175225 bytes for version 18.0.11, suggesting minor additions or changes in the type definitions. However, the file count remains constant at 9.

For developers, this suggests that upgrading from 18.0.11 to 18.0.12 should be a relatively straightforward process. Check your project to see if is working as attended can be a good idea to avoid breaking changes.
