NPM-next-version

NPM-next-version tries to guess the next best version for a given package based on what is currently published on NPM.

Examples

Lets say your package name is foobar and your latest deployed version is 2.4.6

const NpmNextVersion = require('npm-next-version');
const { name, version } = require('./package');

(async () => {
  const nextVersion = await NpmNextVersion(
    name,   // foobar
    version // 2.4.0
  );
  console.log(nextVersion); // 2.4.7
})();

It automatically increased the to the next patch version.

But i would like to upgrade a major/minor version?

Just increase the version in you package.json to 2.5.0 or 3.0.0.

NPM-next-version will also make sure you don't accidentally skip a version: e.g. if you increase the version in you package.json to 2.6.0 it will return 2.5.0 instead.

The package will not change your package.json, it will just suggest the next version. What you do with that suggestion is up to you.
