Installation

npm i electron-releases

Usage

The module exports an array of release objects:

const releases = require('electron-releases')

// find newest version:
releases[0].tag_name // => 'v1.8.2-beta.3'

// find `latest` on npm, which is not necessarily the most recent release:
releases.find(release => release.npm_dist_tag === 'latest')

// find `beta` on npm:
releases.find(release => release.npm_dist_tag === 'beta')

Lite Version

The default export is about 10MB, as it includes a lot of metadata from the GitHub API like release assets.

If you just need the basic info like version numbers, npm dist tags, and publish dates, there's a much smaller (<200K) dataset you can use:

require('electron-releases/lite.json')

You can also get this at unpkg.com/electron-releases/lite.json

Data

Each release contains all the data returned by the GitHub Releases API, plus some extra properties:

• version (String) - the same thing as dist_tag, but without the v for convenient semver comparisons.
• npm_dist_tag (String) - an npm dist-tag like latest or beta. Most releases will not have this property.
• npm_package_name (String) - For packages published to npm, this will be electron or electron-prebuilt. For packages not published to npm, this property will not exist.
• total_downloads (Number) - Total downloads of all assets in the release that have a detectable platform in their filename like .zip, .dmg, .exe, .rpm, .deb, etc.
• deps (Object) - version numbers for Electron dependencies.
  • v8 (String)
  • chromium (String)
  • node (String)
  • etc..

Updates

This module is self-publishing. It runs in a Heroku Scheduler process every ten minutes. A new version of this module is published if any of the following change:

• number of Electron releases on GitHub
• number of Electron releases on npm
• npm electron@beta version
• npm electron@latest version

If none of these has changed, the build process aborts and runs again ten minutes later. For more detail, see script/release.sh

The Heroku app is also synced to the GitHub repo, so every push to the master branch will automatically deploy a new version of this app.

Tests

npm install
npm test
