Eslint-plugin-prettier bridges the gap between ESLint and Prettier, allowing developers to leverage Prettier's code formatting capabilities directly within their ESLint workflows. Version 4.2.1 brings subtle under-the-hood changes compared to the previous stable version 4.2.0. While the core functionality remains the same – running Prettier as an ESLint rule – there are updated dependencies and potentially bug fixes within the newer release.
Specifically, examining the two versions reveals a slight difference in the dist section, with version 4.2.1 having a fileCount of 5 and an unpackedSize of 58284 bytes, while the older version 4.2.0 had a fileCount of 4 and an unpackedSize of 22021 bytes. This indicates that additional files might have been added, or existing files modified since the last stable release. This might include updated documentation or related resources, and most likely bug fixes.
Developers considering upgrading should review the project's changelog on GitHub for precise details on the enhancements and fixes included in version 4.2.1. This is especially important for teams using specific configurations or relying on particular edge cases. The core dependencies remain largely unchanged, with prettier-linter-helpers staying consistent. Both versions maintain the same peer dependency requirements for ESLint (>=7.28.0) and Prettier (>=2.0.0), this means any relatively recent version should in theory work without problems. Therefore, upgrading should be a straightforward process. For most users, moving to version 4.2.1 is recommended to benefit from the latest improvements and stability enhancements.
