fetch-node-release

fetch-node-release

Fetch latest Node.js release version by keyword such as stable, lts/carbon or lts/*.

Usage

const fetch = require('fetch-node-release');

(async () => {
  let version;
  // fetch latest stable version
  version = await fetch('stable');
  console.log('latest stable', version);

  // fetch latest lts/boron version
  version = await fetch('lts/boron');
  console.log('latest lts/boron', version);

  // fetch latest lts version
  version = await fetch('lts/*');
  console.log('latest lts', version);
})().catch((err) => {
  console.error(err);
  process.exitCode = 1;
});

Caveats

• fetches data from https://nodejs.org/dist/ so it will reject if there's no internet access or upon HTTP failures
• will reject if you provide invalid lts branch name
• will explode the moment node lts releases run out of alphabet ;)

Changelog
