This package contains TypeScript definitions for the popular semver library. Semver provides utilities for parsing, comparing, and manipulating semantic version numbers, crucial for dependency management in JavaScript projects. Using @types/semver adds strong typing to your code when working with semver, enhancing code quality and preventing runtime errors related to incorrect version handling. This ensures that your applications correctly interpret and manage package versions based on semantic versioning specifications.
The @types/semver package has been sporadically updated since its initial release in July 2016. Releases were most frequent in 2016-2017 and 2019-2021, with periods of inactivity. The package saw a resurgence in updates in late 2023, including older version updates. A few updates occurred in 2024 and 2025 as well.
@types/semver downloads show consistent popularity, generally between 85M-105M monthly from March 2024 to August 2025. A notable increase began in June 2025, peaking in July (112M+). September 2025 downloads are already at 21M+, suggesting a potentially high month, but incomplete data makes analysis uncertain.
