Version 2.2.0 Details

@types/sinon provides TypeScript definitions for the popular Sinon.js library, a standalone test spies, stubs and mocks framework for JavaScript. Version 2.2.0 arrived on May 3, 2017, succeeding version 2.1.3, which was released on April 24, 2017. While both versions share the same core purpose – to offer accurate TypeScript typings for Sinon, enabling developers to leverage its testing capabilities within TypeScript projects – the key difference lies in the incremental updates and potential bug fixes incorporated in the newer release.

Developers using Sinon with TypeScript benefit from these type definitions by gaining enhanced code completion, static analysis, and type safety. This minimizes runtime errors and improves overall code quality. The move from 2.1.3 to 2.2.0, although seemingly a minor version bump, indicates improvements that likely addressed specific issues or inconsistencies found in the earlier typings. Without specific changelog details, it's reasonable to assume the update focused on refining the existing definitions to better reflect the evolving features and nuances of Sinon.js itself.

For developers, upgrading to the latest version (2.2.0 at the time of writing) usually provides the most accurate and reliable type information. Keep in mind that a 9-day delay exists between the release of 2.1.3. and 2.2.0 which may signal the importance of the upgrade to support Typescript developers. Also, upgrading ensures compatibility with the latest Sinon.js releases and generally leads to a smoother and more efficient development experience when writing tests with TypeScript.
