dependency-status

Check whether your public npm dependencies (or private github dependencies) are up-to-date

npm install dependency-status

Usage

Simply call dependency-status with module or github repository name

var check = require('dependency-status');

check('dependency-status', function(err, report) {
	console.log(report);
});

The above result will look like this

{
	name: 'dependency-status',
	version: '0.1.0',
	dependencies: [{
		name: 'request',
		latest: '2.34.0',
		used: '^2.34.0',
		status: 'latest'
	}, {
		...
	}]
}

The status of each dependency can be up-to-date or outdated.

You can also use dependency-status if your node project is not on npm but only on github (like an app). Simply pass username/repository to the function

check('my-github-username/my-repo', callback);

If your repository is private you need to pass credentials as well as the second parameter

check('my-user/my-private-repo', {
	username: 'this-user-has-read-access-to-the-repo',
	password: 'this-is-his-password'
}, callback);

If you pass a credentials map you can also check the status of your modules private github dependencies
