recently-published v0.9.2

recently-published

A simple CLI tool to view which installed packages in your project were published most recently

Use Case

If you install or update your packages and something breaks, you can use this CLI tool to see which versions you just installed were most recently published and hence the most suspect. 

Installation & Usage

You can either install this package globally or use npx to run it without installation.

Global Installation

To install globally, use:

npm install -g recently-published

Once installed, you can run it anywhere with:

recently-published <options>

Using npx

If you prefer not to install it globally, you can use npx:

npx recently-published <options>

This will fetch and run the latest version of the package without needing a global install.

Usage

Usage: recently-published [options] [optionalPackageName]

Arguments:
  optionalPackageName       Optional package name whose recently published versions you want to see. If not provided, will display recently published packages installed in the current directory.

Options:
  -V, --version             output the version number
  -d, --display <number>    Number of recently published versions you would like displayed or "all" if you want to display all of them (default: "5")
  -ep, --excludePrerelease  Exclude prerelease versions from the list of recently published versions
  --json                    Output the result in JSON format
  -h, --help                display help for command
