Eslint Plugin Jest has released version 22.10.0, a minor update following version 22.9.0. Both versions provide ESLint rules specifically designed for Jest, enhancing code quality and consistency in Jest-based testing environments. Key dependencies remain consistent, including Jest (version 24.0.0 or higher), ESLint (version 5.1.0 or higher is recommended), and Babel-related packages for modern JavaScript support. Developers leveraging this plugin benefit from automated linting, catching potential errors and enforcing best practices within their Jest tests.
A notable difference lies in the package size. Version 22.10.0 exhibits a significantly smaller footprint, with an unpacked size of 140KB compared to 22.9.0’s 426KB. Similarly, the number of files included in the package has decreased from 180 to 76. This reduction suggests optimizations in the codebase, potentially leading to faster installation times and reduced disk space usage. This makes 22.10.0 more efficient for projects requiring a lighter dependency footprint.
Developers upgrading should note the potential impact of these optimizations. While not explicitly stated, the size reduction might indicate changes in rule implementations, configurations, or the removal of unnecessary files. It's always advised to review the changelog (available on the project's GitHub repository) to understand the specific modifications and their implications for your testing setup. Both versions are MIT licensed, offer the same peer dependency requirements (ESLint >=5), and are distributed via npm.
