Options

Pass options when initializing the middleware to customize it's behavior. Available options:

• compareNpmVersion [boolean] (default: true) - Only update when remote package.json version is higher than the local.
• runNpmInstall [boolean] (default: true) - Automatically run npm install after update.
• compareBody [object => boolean] - Function to compare incoming body. Won't update if function returns false.
• compareQuery [object => boolean] - Function to compare incoming query parameters. Won't update if function returns false.
• onUpdate [() => void] - Function to call after program has been updated.
• onUpdateCommand [string] - Shell command to execute after program has been updated. (Runs after onUpdate.)
• groupingTime [number] (default: 0) - Minimum amount of time in millis to wait after starting a self updating check before allowing a new check. Requests that are sent within this time frame will be grouped together, that is, their response will be the same and returned when the running check finishes.
