# latest-version [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/latest-version)
|
|
|
|
> Get the latest version of an npm package
|
|
|
|
Fetches the version directly from the registry instead of depending on the massive [npm](https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/8b5e7b6ae5b4cd2d7d62eaf93b1428638b387072/package.json#L37-L85) module like the [latest](https://github.com/bahamas10/node-latest) module does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install latest-version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const latestVersion = require('latest-version');
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
console.log(await latestVersion('ava'));
|
|
//=> '0.18.0'
|
|
|
|
console.log(await latestVersion('@sindresorhus/df'));
|
|
//=> '1.0.1'
|
|
|
|
// Also works with semver ranges and dist-tags
|
|
console.log(await latestVersion('npm', {version: 'latest-5'}));
|
|
//=> '5.5.1'
|
|
})();
|
