Eslint-plugin-promise has released a new version, 6.6.0, building upon the previous stable release, 6.5.1. Both versions aim to enforce best practices for JavaScript promises, helping developers write cleaner and more maintainable asynchronous code. The core functionality remains consistent, ensuring a smooth upgrade for existing users. Key features include enforcing proper error handling in promises, preventing common anti-patterns like ignoring unhandled rejections, and encouraging the use of async/await syntax where appropriate.
While the development dependencies remain largely the same, comprising tools for testing (Jest), linting (ESLint), code formatting (Prettier), and documentation (doctoc, eslint-doc-generator), indicating a consistent development workflow. The peer dependencies specify compatibility with ESLint versions 7, 8, and 9.
The most noticeable differences between the two versions lie in the dist section. Version 6.6.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size (72475 bytes) compared to 6.5.1 (71971 bytes), suggesting the addition of new features, rule updates, or minor bug fixes. More importantly, the release date shows that version 6.6.0 was released on July 21, 2024, whereas version 6.5.1 was released on July 20, 2024. This one day delta confirms that version 6.6.0 is indeed a newer upgrade to version 6.5.1. Developers should consider upgrading to the latest version to benefit from these improvements, ensuring they're using the most up-to-date rules and recommendations for promise handling in their projects. Potential benefits include enhanced code quality, improved error detection, and better adherence to modern JavaScript standards.
