以编程方式获取最新的npm软件包版本？

Question

Looking for a way to access the latest version number of an npm package. Is there some kind of API where I can't ping npm directly? Or is there a programatic npm command I can use?

getNpmVersion('lodash').then(console.log) // => 4.11.1

Answer 1

Found a module called npm-latest that does exactly this:

import npmLatest from 'npm-latest'
import Promise from 'bluebird'
const npmLatestAsync = Promise.promisify(npmLatest)
async function getNpmVersion (dep) {
  let { name, version } = await npmLatestAsync(dep)
  return { name, version}
}

也：

npm view {packagename} version
