Typescript-formatter is a valuable tool for developers seeking consistent and automated code formatting for their TypeScript projects. Version 7.0.0 and the preceding 6.1.0 share the core functionality of formatting TypeScript code, relying on "commandpost" and "editorconfig" for command-line argument parsing and editor configuration respectively. Developers will appreciate the continued support for editor configuration via .editorconfig files, ensuring code style consistency across different editors and IDEs.
Both versions list identical development dependencies, including testing frameworks like mocha and power-assert, linting tools like tslint, and necessary type definition packages. This indicates a consistent approach to testing and quality assurance, reassuring developers about the library's reliability.
The crucial aspect for developers to consider is the peer dependency: "typescript". Both versions specify the same range: ^2.1.6 || >=2.5.0-dev || >=2.6.0-dev || >=2.7.0-dev. This means that both versions are compatible with TypeScript versions starting from 2.1.6 and any development version equal or greater than 2.5.0, 2.6.0 or 2.7.0.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in the release date, with version 7.0.0 being released on October 27, 2017, and version 6.1.0 on October 26, 2017. While the changelog is not provided, this suggests a minor update, likely addressing bugs, performance improvements, or very minor feature enhancements. Developers should consult the project's changelog on the repository to get definitive information about the changes.
