Usage

Node HipChat api

var moduleVersionChecker = require('module-version-check');

var params = {
    "hipchat": {
        "color": "red",
        "token": "",
        "room": 1
    },
    "output": {
        "console": false, // if true, outputs result into console
        "hipchat": true // if true, sends result to HipChat
    },
    path: '' // path to the directory where to check
}

moduleVersionChecker(params).then(function(results){
    // After all output was rendered and sent to the HipChat (and/or console)
    // Do something else with detailed results here
});

Results will be an object that looks like this:

{ 
    when: { 
        moduleName: 'when',
