eslint-config-airbnb-base is a popular npm package providing a foundational ESLint configuration based on Airbnb's JavaScript style guide. Version 4.0.0, released in July 2016, built upon the earlier 3.0.1 release from May 2016 with notable dependency updates.
Key upgrades for developers upgrading to and using version 4.0.0 are in its peer and dev dependencies. Both the eslint and eslint-plugin-import peer dependencies saw major version bumps, moving to ^3.0.1 and ^1.10.2 respectively, from ^2.9.0 and ^1.7.0 in version 3.0.1. These upgrades unlocked new linting rules and functionalities offered by the newer versions of those core packages. Importantly, developers must ensure they also upgrade these peer dependencies in their projects when adopting eslint-config-airbnb-base version 4.0.0.
The devDependencies also reflect this update. Most notably, the eslint-find-rules dev dependency was updated signifying potential changes or improvements in how unused rules are detected. These refinements contribute to code maintainability. The babel-tape-runner and tape versions were also updated, reflecting minor dependency maintenance. These combined improvements provided a more robust and up-to-date linting experience aligned with the evolving JavaScript landscape. These updates allowed developers to have the latest features, bug fixes, and refinements from the updated dependencies while adhering to the Airbnb JavaScript style guide with confidence.
