Node.js - npm-latest
Quickly find the latest version of a package in npm
.
Why?
I often forget which package version I need to put as a dependency in my packages. Running npm info [package]
and then scrolling up scanning JSON became annoying.
Installation
npm install -g npm-latest
Example
npm-latest express
output:
express:
latest: 3.0.0rc2
