Eslint-plugin-jest has released a new version, 28.1.1, an incremental update from the previous stable version 28.1.0. Both versions provide ESLint rules specifically tailored for Jest, enhancing code quality and consistency in Jest-based testing environments. The core functionality remains the same, offering a suite of rules to enforce best practices in test writing, such as consistent naming conventions, proper usage of Jest matchers, and avoidance of anti-patterns. Developers can benefit from these rules to ensure their tests are readable, maintainable, and reliable.
The dependencies and devDependencies listed are extensive and almost identical between the two versions, suggesting that the 28.1.1 release primarily addresses internal improvements, bug fixes, or minor adjustments rather than introducing significant new features or dependency updates. Crucially, the peerDependencies remain consistent, requiring jest, eslint, and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin to be present in the project, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of existing setups that follows recent major versions. Based on the metadata only, the update appears minimal, the slight difference in unpacked size, only 74 bytes bigger in the newest version, confirming this. Developers already using 28.1.0 should consider upgrading to 28.1.1 to benefit from potential bug fixes and stability improvements. Those new to the plugin can confidently use either version, with 28.1.1 being the recommended starting point.
