Babel-plugin-transform-property-literals, a Babel plugin designed to optimize JavaScript code by converting valid property key literals into plain identifiers, has two closely related versions: 6.9.2 and 6.9.3. Both versions share the same core functionality, aiming to improve code readability and potentially performance by simplifying property access. They both depend on the esutils library for ECMAScript language utilities. Also, they are both under MIT license.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the details of their implementation and potentially bug fixes. While the core function remains the same, version 6.9.3, released on May 14, 2018, incorporates subtle refinements compared to version 6.9.2, released on May 3, 2018. The unpacked size offers a clue: version 6.9.3 is slightly larger (5193 bytes) than version 6.9.2 (5182 bytes), suggesting internal changes, likely minor bug fixes or optimizations.
For developers considering using this plugin, the choice between the two versions depends on risk tolerance. Although the changes are likely incremental, those seeking the most stable and potentially bug-free experience should opt for the newer version, 6.9.3. Both versions offer a straightforward way to streamline JavaScript code during the compilation process, transforming code like obj["property"] into obj.property, when applicable, resulting in cleaner and more efficient code. Developers should always test thoroughly after incorporating any new plugin version.
