How many people use @types/validator?
npm counted 24,986,476 downloads of @types/validator in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 25M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on @types/validator, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is @types/validator still maintained?
Less clear: the last release is more than six months old. The latest version, 13.15.10, came out on Nov 17, 2025. The last 12 months saw 6 stable releases, typically 2 days apart. It was first published on May 17, 2016. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is @types/validator still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 43% over 3 months and up 149% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 384 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 164% over 11 months, so this one is behind that. Last week, 96% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 13, the latest one; the most used single version was 13.15.10, with 64%. Weekdays get 2.1× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 376 downloads a week, roughly 4 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
