Version 6.0.4 Details

@types/ws provides TypeScript definitions for the popular WebSocket library, ws, enabling developers to leverage strong typing and improved tooling within their TypeScript projects when working with WebSockets. Version 6.0.4 arrived on November 25, 2019, building upon the previous stable version 6.0.3, released on August 23, 2019. Both versions share core characteristics: they depend on @types/node for Node.js typings, are licensed under the MIT license, and are maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub.

While seemingly similar, there are subtle differences. The unpacked size of version 6.0.4 is slightly larger at 13544 bytes, compared to 13445 bytes in version 6.0.3. This suggests minor additions or adjustments to the type definitions occurred between releases. Developers upgrading should check the DefinitelyTyped repository for specific changes if experiencing unusual compilation issues.

For developers employing WebSockets in TypeScript, @types/ws provides a crucial layer of type safety. It promotes code clarity, reduces runtime errors related to incorrect WebSocket usage, and enhances the overall development experience. The use of "@types/node": "*" means it intends to be compatible with any version of node types. Always use the latest compatible version when using this package, which can usually be achieved by using the latest version. Ensure your project is configured to correctly consume TypeScript declaration files to fully benefit from these type definitions. Always check the latest changes in the DefinitelyTyped repository.
