Eslint-plugin-jest has released version 23.7.0, a minor update from the previous stable version 23.6.0. Both versions provide ESLint rules specifically designed for Jest, the popular JavaScript testing framework, ensuring code quality and consistency in test suites. Developers using either version can expect a suite of rules that enforce best practices for writing effective and maintainable Jest tests.
A notable difference lies in the direct dependencies. Version 23.6.0 included micromatch as a dependency, while this has been removed in 23.7.0. The newer version doesn't introduce any new direct dependencies, only retaining @typescript-eslint/experimental-utils. This may indicate a refactoring of the codebase to remove the need for micromatch, potentially simplifying the plugin's internal workings.
Both versions share a comprehensive set of devDependencies, including tools for linting, formatting, and testing the plugin itself. These include ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, and various Babel-related packages. This robust development environment underscores the project's commitment to quality and maintainability. The peer dependency on ESLint (>=5) remains consistent, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of ESLint versions. Developers should consider these dependency changes when upgrading, although the impact on end-users using the plugin for linting Jest tests is likely minimal. Version 23.7.0 offers a potentially leaner implementation through the removal of micromatch.
