Understanding Versioning of TSConfigs #203

Closed stuft2 closed 1 year ago

stuft2 commented 1 year ago

I would like to understand how these configurations are being versioned. It seems that every so often a change is made that breaks my code. For example, the change from module: commonjs to module: Node16 in all the node configurations. I was using those configurations to compile specifically to commonjs but after a minor version update, all my code is compiling to Node16 syntax. Should I be locking on an exact version of my configuration?

You should always be locking your dependencies regardless and updating them when you're OK with handling the changes, but we did do a major version bump for all those that we could for it to indicate the change as mentioned in the README:

We target the latest versions stable version of TypeScript, note that because we want to be consistent with the versioning the target runtime we can't always do semver releases.

You're welcome to read https://github.com/tsconfig/bases/pull/197 to understand why we did the most recent change
