Eslint-plugin-node versions 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 offer supplementary ESLint rules tailored for Node.js projects, enhancing code quality and consistency. While seemingly similar, a crucial distinction lies in their peer dependency on ESLint. Version 0.6.1 declares a peer dependency of "eslint": ">=1.10.3", limiting its compatibility to ESLint versions 1.10.3 and above within the version 1 series.
Version 0.6.2 expands this compatibility significantly. The peerDependencies field now includes "eslint": ">=1.10.3 || 2.0.0-alpha-1 || 2.0.0-alpha-2 || 2.0.0-beta.1 || 2.0.0-beta.2 || 2.0.0-beta.3", making it compatible with ESLint versions 1.10.3 and all alpha/beta releases within the ESLint 2.0.0 series. This broader compatibility provides developers with the flexibility to use the plugin with newer, pre-release versions of ESLint, potentially taking advantage of the latest features and improvements.
For developers considering using eslint-plugin-node, it's important to evaluate the version of ESLint they are running. If using a pre-release version of ESLint 2.0.0, version 0.6.2 is the recommended choice. If using ESLint 1.10.3 or later within the 1.x series, either version will suffice, although 0.6.2 provides future-proofing for potential ESLint upgrades. Both versions share the same core dependencies and development dependencies, ensuring consistent functionality and tooling. The bug fixes and rule enhancements included in the newer ESLint versions could make upgrading desirable.
