# extract-package

Download and extract npm package version

## Requires

Node 6+

## Install

```bash

$ npm install extract-package

```

## Usage

```js

const extractPackage = require('extract-package')

extractPackage({

  name: 'lodash'

}).then(response => {

  // path where package is downloaded

  console.log(response)

}).catch(error => {

  // oops!

})

```

### Specify a version

```js

extractPackage({

  name: 'lodash',

  version: '1.0.0'

})

```

### Specify where to drop the package

```js

extractPackage({

  name: 'lodash',

  version: '1.0.0',

  dest: '/path/to/folder'

})

```

### Satisfy major versions

Assuming that the package version are 1.4.5, 1.6.5 and 2.0.0, this example will download the version 1.6.5, which is the latest version that satisfies that major version.

```js

extractPackage({

  name: 'lodash',

  version: '1'

}, true)

```
