Version Ticker

Version ticker is designed as a simple server that will periodically (with the help of cron) fetch the versions of a list of npm modules.

Getting Started

yarn add version-ticker

Manifest

Version Ticker operates with the help of a manifest file that contains optional lists of npm organizations, users, and modules.

{
    "orgs": ["dmsi","flatland"],
    "users": ["renddslow", "tehshrike", "saibotsivad"],
    "modules": ["onesignal-promise"],
    "exclude": ["@dmsi/core"]
}

Prop	Description
orgs	An array of npm organization names. The version ticker will fetch all of the modules that your user has access to and cache their names locally.
users	An array of npm users. The version ticker will fetch all the modules that your user has access to and cache their names locally.
modules	An array of module names.
excludes	Modules that should be excluded from the list of versions checked. This is useful when there are more modules that a user or org has than you wish to limit.

CLI

The Version Ticker runs on a time delay, fetching results based on a cached list of module names generated at start up.

Prop	Description
-u --username [username]	npm username
-p --password [password]	(Optional) npm passsword. If you do not provide it, you will be prompted for it.
[port]	The port the server should listen on. Defaults to 8080.
-f --filename [filename]	The relative path to your manifest.json. Defaults to check for a manifest in your current directory.
--interval [interval]

As of 1.0.0 the response is logged to the console in the following format:

[
    { version: <VERSION>, name: <NAME> },
    ...
]
