获取主要版本 NPM Package

Question

I am trying to get a list of all major version released of any particular NPM package .

I can find the versions including the major and the experimental version list by using the following API https://registry.npmjs.org/<pkg_name>

But can not distinguish from the major versions from the experimental or non major versions of the package. I am wondering how can I do that.

I have tried using a regex but it doesnt help.

Here is my code

const data = axios.get(`https://registry.npmjs.org/${packageName}`)

const regex = /(\d*)+[.]+(\d*)+[.]+(\d*)/g;
let versions: {}[] = [];

Object.keys(response.data).forEach((data: any) => {
    if (data.match(regex)) {
        versions.push(versionData);
    }
});

you can use npm programatically (nodejs code), but here is a command line reference for you.

you might use npm-view to get what you are after. for instance:

$ npm view jest --json | jq '."dist-tags"'
{
  "latest": "26.4.0",
  "test": "21.3.0-beta.15",
  "beta": "24.2.0-alpha.0",
  "next": "26.0.1-alpha.0",
  "canary": "25.2.1-alpha.2"
}
