Version 8.18.1 Details

The @types/ws package provides TypeScript definitions for the popular ws library, enabling developers to use WebSockets in their TypeScript projects with strong typing and improved code completion. Version 8.18.1, released on April 1, 2025, follows shortly after version 8.18.0, which was released on March 4, 2025. Both versions share the same core dependencies, relying on @types/node for Node.js-specific typings and are licensed under the MIT license. This indicates continued maintenance and alignment with the broader JavaScript ecosystem.

While superficially similar, subtle differences exist. The unpacked size of version 8.18.1 is marginally smaller (42347 bytes) than version 8.18.0 (42351 bytes), suggesting potential minor optimizations or typo corrections in the typings. This highlights the continuous refinement that DefinitelyTyped packages undergo. Developers upgrading from 8.18.0 to 8.18.1 can expect a minimal (if any) impact on their codebase and no breaking changes related to dependencies. The update most likely brings enhanced accuracy of autocompletions, better compliance, and generally improves development experience since WebSocket implementations are crucial for real-time communication in web applications, and accurate TypeScript definitions are crucial for maintaining code quality and preventing runtime errors. Check the changelog on the DefinitelyTyped repository for detailed information about the changes on Github.
