latest-version

Get the latest version of an npm package

Fetches the version directly from the registry instead of depending on the massive npm module like the latest module does.

Install

$ npm install latest-version

Usage

const latestVersion = require('latest-version');
 
(async () => {
    console.log(await latestVersion('ava'));
    //=> '0.18.0'
 
    console.log(await latestVersion('@sindresorhus/df'));
    //=> '1.0.1'
 
    // Also works with semver ranges and dist-tags
    console.log(await latestVersion('npm', {version: 'latest-5'}));
    //=> '5.5.1'
})();
