# 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

```sh

npm install latest-version

```

## Usage

```js

import latestVersion from 'latest-version';

console.log(await latestVersion('ava'));

//=> '6.1.1'

console.log(await latestVersion('@sindresorhus/df'));

//=> '4.0.0'

// Also works with semver ranges and dist-tags

console.log(await latestVersion('npm', {version: 'latest-5'}));

//=> '5.10.0'

```

This package exposes the [`version`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#version), [`registryUrl`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#registryurl), and [`omitDeprecated`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#omitdeprecated) options from [`package-json`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#options), as well as the [`PackageNotFoundError`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#packagenotfounderror) and [`VersionNotFoundError`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json#versionnotfounderror) errors.
