Configs

• name The npm module name you want to check UPDATE

changeLog: function( content, latest ){
    var chunk = content.split( /#+\s*v?([\d\.]+)\s*\n/g );
    var isVersion = true;
    var lastVersion = null;
    var changeLogs = {};
    chunk.forEach(function( value ){
        if( value = value.trim() ){
            if( isVersion ){
                lastVersion = value;
            }
            else {
                changeLogs[ lastVersion ] = value;
            }
            isVersion = !isVersion;
        }
    });
 
    return changeLogs[ latest ];
}

  • oldVersion: The old version of your module.
  • newVersion: The latest version of your module.
  • changeLog: The change log of your module's latest version.
