Version 0.22.0 Details

Fs-extra is a popular Node.js package that extends the native fs module with additional file system utilities, simplifying common tasks like creating directories recursively (mkdir -p), copying files recursively (cp -r), and removing directories recursively (rm -rf). Version 0.22.0 builds upon the functionality of version 0.21.0, offering an upgrade path for developers already using the library.

Both releases share the same core dependencies: rimraf for robust recursive deletion, jsonfile for easy JSON file reading and writing, and graceful-fs for improved file system handling under heavy load. Key developer dependencies like mocha for testing, semver for version management, istanbul for code coverage, coveralls for coverage reporting, secure-random and read-dir-files remain consistent.

One notable difference lies in the standard linter. Version 0.21.0 uses standard version ^3.3.1, while version 0.22.0 upgrades to standard version 4.x. This indicates an update to the code style and linting rules enforced during development, potentially leading to code improvements and consistency. Another difference is in the repository URL in the package.json file, where version 0.22.0 uses git+https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra.git while version 0.21.0 uses https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra.

For developers, fs-extra offers a more convenient and robust alternative to the built-in fs module. Upgrading to version 0.22.0 provides the benefits of updated code style checks and potentially improved code quality, while maintaining compatibility with existing projects relying on the core fs-extra functionality. Both versions provides cross-platform compatibility and a simplified API, reducing boilerplate code and improving developer productivity when dealing with file system operations.
