Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
check-node-version
Advanced tools
The check-node-version npm package is a utility that allows you to check if the current Node.js and npm versions match the specified versions. It is useful for ensuring that your development environment meets the required versions for a project.
Check Node.js version
This feature allows you to check if the current Node.js version meets the specified version requirement. In this example, it checks if the Node.js version is greater than or equal to 10.0.0.
const check = require('check-node-version');
check({ node: '>= 10.0.0' }, (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
return;
}
console.log(result);
});
Check npm version
This feature allows you to check if the current npm version meets the specified version requirement. In this example, it checks if the npm version is greater than or equal to 6.0.0.
const check = require('check-node-version');
check({ npm: '>= 6.0.0' }, (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
return;
}
console.log(result);
});
Check multiple versions
This feature allows you to check multiple version requirements at once. In this example, it checks if both the Node.js version is greater than or equal to 10.0.0 and the npm version is greater than or equal to 6.0.0.
const check = require('check-node-version');
check({ node: '>= 10.0.0', npm: '>= 6.0.0' }, (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
return;
}
console.log(result);
});
The engines package allows you to specify the required versions of Node.js and npm in your package.json file. It is similar to check-node-version but is more focused on defining version requirements within the package.json file rather than programmatically checking them.
The semver package is a library for parsing, validating, and comparing semantic version numbers. While it does not specifically check the current Node.js or npm versions, it can be used to implement similar functionality by comparing version strings.
The node-version-check package is another utility for checking the current Node.js version against a specified version range. It is similar to check-node-version but is more lightweight and focused solely on Node.js version checking.
Check installed versions of node
, npm
, and yarn
.
npm install check-node-version
SYNOPSIS
check-node-version [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
check-node-version will check if the current node, npm and yarn
versions match the given semver version ranges.
If the given version is not satisfied, information about
installing the needed version is printed and the program exits
with an error code.
OPTIONS
--node VERSION
Check that the current node version matches the given semver
version range.
--npm VERSION
Check that the current npm version matches the given semver
version range.
--yarn VERSION
Check that the current yarn version matches the given semver
version range.
--package
Use the "engines" key in the current package.json for the
semver version ranges.
-q, --quiet
Don't output anything. Exit with an error code if a version
is not satisfied, otherwise exit with code 0.
-h, --help
Print this message.
When no versions are given, the current node, npm, and yarn versions are printed out.
