##  Programmatic Usage

### Installation

```bash

$ npm install npm-check-global-updates

```

### API

The module returns a `Function` which returns a `Promise`.

```js

const checkGlobalUpdates = require('npm-check-global-updates')

checkGlobalUpdates()

.then((result) => {

    console.log(result);

})

```

The `Promise` resolves with an `Array`:

 - *Array* - **Package list (name@version)**

### Example

```js

const checkGlobalUpdates = require('npm-check-global-updates')

checkGlobalUpdates()

.then((packages) => {

    console.log(packages);

    // Returns:

    // [ 'browserify@14.4.0', 'express@4.15.3' ]

})

.catch((err) => {

    console.error(err);

})

```
