Moment.js, a popular JavaScript library for date and time manipulation, has two recent versions that developers should be aware of: versions 2.30.0 and 2.29.4. Both versions offer functionalities for parsing, validating, manipulating, and displaying dates in JavaScript. However, there are key differences, especially concerning development dependencies, that might influence a developer's choice.
Version 2.30.0, released in late December 2023, comes with a few updated development dependencies compared to version 2.29.4, released in July 2022. Version 2.30.0 specifies a specific version of "@types/node": "17.0.21", and also adds the "typescript3":"npm:typescript@^3.1.6" dependency. Furthermore, it includes "karma-chrome-launcher":"latest" which was not present in the older version. A notable change is the update of ESLint from "~6" in version 2.29.4 to "latest" in version 2.30.0, which will bring in the latest linting rules and recommendations, potentially requiring code adjustments to align with the newer standards.
Regarding package size, version 2.30.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size of 4,350,207 bytes compared to 4,229,440 bytes in version 2.29.4, because it contains 539 files compared to the 533 files of version 2.29.4. Developers should consider this difference, however small, when optimizing for bundle size. Both versions maintain the same MIT license, author, and repository details.
Choosing between these versions depends on a project's dependency requirements and tolerance for potential ESLint-related code refactoring. If a project requires the latest linting standards and the updated dependencies do not cause any conflicts, version 2.30.0 is a viable option. Otherwise, version 2.29.4 remains a solid choice, particularly if stability and minimal dependency changes are priorities.
