Version 4.0.2 Details

Fs-extra is a popular Node.js package offering extended file system manipulation capabilities beyond the standard fs module, providing convenient methods like mkdir -p, cp -r, and rm -rf. Comparing versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.1 reveals a key difference in dependency management. Version 4.0.2 upgraded the jsonfile dependency from ^3.0.0 to ^4.0.0. This change is important for developers because jsonfile handles reading and writing JSON files, and a major version update often introduces breaking changes or new features that might affect how existing code interacts with the library.

Developers upgrading from 4.0.1 should carefully examine the jsonfile changelog for version 4 to ensure compatibility and to leverage any improvements. Apart from this dependency update, both versions share the same core functionality, utilizing packages like graceful-fs for improved file handling and universalify for promise-based APIs. Both also include a robust suite of development dependencies used for testing, linting, and code coverage, ensuring high-quality code. The other dependencies are the same, and are useful for usage of the module in development environments with very useful packages that help testing code quality, like mocha, standard and istanbul.
