Eslint-plugin-jest is a valuable tool for developers leveraging Jest for testing their JavaScript code. It provides ESLint rules specifically designed to improve the quality and consistency of your Jest tests. Comparing versions 21.7.1 and 21.7.0 reveals a few key changes. Version 21.7.1 introduces the "eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin" as a devDependency, which likely indicates improvements or additions to the internal development and testing of the ESLint plugin itself, making it more robust and reliable.
While both versions share a core set of devDependencies, including essential tools like Jest, ESLint, Prettier, Husky, lint-staged, and commitlint, the inclusion of "eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin" in the newer release implies a focus on enhancing the plugin's internal code quality. This benefits developers indirectly by ensuring the rules provided by eslint-plugin-jest are well-maintained and function as expected.
Furthermore, the release date indicates version 21.7.1 was published several weeks after 21.7.0. This suggests that version 21.7.1 likely includes bug fixes, minor enhancements, or updates to keep the plugin compatible with newer versions of its peer dependencies like ESLint. Developers should generally prefer the latest version (21.7.1) to benefit from these improvements and ensure optimal compatibility with other tools in their JavaScript development workflow. The unpacked size of the newer version is also provided, along with file count which can give some insight on the overall library size and complexity but generally are not very relevant for most developers.
