Node.js - npm-latest
Quickly find the latest version of a package in npm
.
Why?
Sometimes I want to know if a single package needs to be
updated. Also, I'm a package creatin' fool: https://www.npmjs.com/~jprichardson - I need to
know quickly if a package name is taken.
Update 2015-03-29:
Support config registry in ~/.npmrc
file,more on registry-url
Installation
npm install -g npm-latest
Example
npm-latest express
output:
express:
latest: 3.0.0rc2
