Version 5.10.2 of @typescript-eslint/parser offers a subtle, though potentially impactful, upgrade over its predecessor, version 5.10.1. Both versions serve as custom ESLint parsers enabling linting of TypeScript codebases using the popular ESLint tool. Fundamentally, they share the same core purpose: leveraging the TypeScript ESTree (an Abstract Syntax Tree representation of TypeScript code) to facilitate static analysis and enforce coding standards. The descriptions and core dependencies highlight this shared functionality, including dependencies on @typescript-eslint/types, @typescript-eslint/scope-manager, and @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree.
The critical distinction lies within the dependencies themselves. Version 5.10.2 utilizes version 5.10.2 of @typescript-eslint/types, @typescript-eslint/scope-manager, and @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree, while version 5.10.1 depends on 5.10.1 of those same packages. This suggests that the update primarily consists of bug fixes, performance improvements, or feature enhancements within these internal dependencies. Developers should consult the changelogs for these specific dependency packages to understand the precise nature of changes introduced in 5.10.2.
Other than the dependency version bumps described before, the fileCount and unpackedSize, peerDependencies, license, repository, funding, and devDependencies data is unchanged. Furthermore, as the update is focused on the internal dependencies, no API changes should be expected.
Given shared peerDependencies (eslint: ^6.0.0 || ^7.0.0 || ^8.0.0), upgrading to latest types, scope-manager and typescript-estree is often beneficial due to bug fixes and performance improvements, justifying the bump to version 5.10.2. The update is likely non-breaking provided your codebase is compatible with the ESLint version range.
