Eslint-plugin-prettier versions 2.4.0 and 2.3.1, both designed to integrate Prettier's code formatting capabilities directly into ESLint workflows, share a similar core structure but differ slightly in their release date. For developers leveraging ESLint to maintain code style consistency, this plugin offers a seamless way to enforce Prettier's formatting rules as part of the linting process.
Both versions list identical dependencies, including "fast-diff" for efficient difference calculation and "jest-docblock" for parsing Jest-style docblocks. The "devDependencies" are also the same, encompassing tools like "mocha" for testing, "eslint" for linting the plugin itself, and "prettier" along with various ESLint plugin configurations for development and testing. Critically, both versions specify "prettier":">= 0.11.0" as a peer dependency, meaning projects using the plugin must have Prettier installed separately and at a compatible version.
The key differentiator is the release date: version 2.4.0 was released on December 17, 2017, while version 2.3.1 came out on September 18, 2017. While there are no changes in dependencies the newer release likely includes bug fixes, performance improvements, or compatibility updates related to Prettier or ESLint versions released in the intervening months. Developers should favor the newer version (2.4.0) to benefit from these potential enhancements and ensure the most up-to-date integration with their tooling. Verify compatibility within your pre-existing tech stack before upgrading.
