Version 3.0.0 Details

Assertion-error-formatter version 3.0.0 represents a significant update from version 2.0.1, offering developers enhanced tooling and modernization. While both versions share the core purpose of formatting assertion errors with a diff for improved debugging, the newer version benefits from a more contemporary development environment. Most notably the update to the diff dependency to version ^4.0.1 to support more accurate diffs compared to the ^3.0.0.

Developers will appreciate the updated development dependencies in version 3.0.0, which reflect current best practices in JavaScript development. Key changes include upgrades to Babel (using @babel/cli, @babel/core, and @babel/preset-env for modern JavaScript transpilation), ESLint for code linting, and Prettier for code formatting. Specific eslint plugins have been introduced like: eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-node, eslint-plugin-prettier, eslint-plugin-promise, eslint-plugin-standard. These updates promote code quality, consistency, and maintainability within projects utilizing the library. The jump in versions for dependencies such as Chai, Mocha, and Sinon also brings developers the latest features and bug fixes related to testing.

Version 2.0.1 relies on older Babel versions and lacks the comprehensive linting and formatting setup found in 3.0.0. While functional, developers adopting version 3.0.0 gain access to a toolchain that aligns with modern JavaScript development workflows.
