Find the latest version of an npm module matching a given semver range
npm install --save get-latest-version
const getLatestVersion = require('get-latest-version')
getLatestVersion('some-module')
.then((version) => console.log(version)) // 1.0.0, or whichever is 'latest'
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
getLatestVersion('some-other-module', {range: '^1.0.0'})
.then((version) => console.log(version)) // highest version matching ^1.0.0 range
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
// Returns both the highest in the given range and the actual `latest` tag
// Note that this differens in that the return value is an object
getLatestVersion('@sanity/base', {range: '^1.0.0', includeLatest: true})
.then((versions) => console.log(versions)) // {inRange: '1.150.8', latest '2.23.0'}

By default, this module will read the authorization token for whichever registry the module belongs to, based on local npm configuration. To disable this and always send unauthenticated requests to the registry, provide auth: false
to the options:
getLatestVersion('some-module', {auth: false})
.then((version) => console.log(version))
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
