Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

eslint-plugin-import, a vital tool for enforcing import best practices in JavaScript projects, has a new version, 2.24.0, succeeding the previous stable release, 2.23.4. The core functionality remains the same, helping developers maintain code sanity by ensuring correct import syntax and preventing common errors. The later version includes updated dependencies and some slight increases in size, which usually denotes improvements in added functionality. A main difference is on eslint-module-utils (2.6.2 vs 2.6.1), that brings fixes and features to module resolution. Another important upgrade is to eslint-import-resolver-node (0.3.5 vs 0.3.4), a crucial dependency that enhances the plugin's ability to resolve import paths correctly, particularly beneficial in complex project structures. Developers upgrading to 2.24.0 will likely benefit from these enhancements through more accurate import resolution and dependency management. Both versions share the same peer dependency requirement for ESLint versions (2.x to 7.2.0), making the upgrade straightforward. The newer version was also realeased almost 3 months after the older one, allowing more time for bug fixing. This plugin is generally useful to keep your import statements clean and sorted. This enables developers to focus more on functionality and code quality rather than chasing import-related issues.
