Eslint-plugin-react-hooks offers ESLint rules tailored specifically for React Hooks, helping developers enforce best practices and prevent common errors when working with this feature. Comparing versions 1.6.1 and 1.6.0, the key difference lies in the supported ESLint versions. Version 1.6.1 expands its compatibility by adding support for ESLint version 6.0.0, whereas version 1.6.0 supports ESLint versions 3.0.0, 4.0.0, and 5.0.0. This seemingly small change is important, particularly for projects adopting newer ESLint versions, as upgrading to 1.6.1 ensures compatibility and avoids potential conflicts or broken rules.
Both versions, however, share the same core functionality: providing linting rules that automatically check the correct usage of React Hooks. These rules are crucial for maintaining code quality, preventing issues related to dependency arrays in useEffect and other hooks, and ensuring the rules of hooks are followed.
For developers, selecting the correct version depends on the ESLint version used in their project. If you're using ESLint 6.0.0, version 1.6.1 is essential. If you are on an older version you can use version 1.6.0 or upgrade the package depending on your requirements. Upgrading also ensures you benefit from any potential bug fixes or performance improvements.
