## README

# ❔ VERNODE

[Vernode](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vernode) checks for latest [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/about) versions.  
You can use this as a [module](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#introduction) in your NodeJS program or as a [CLI command](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface) in your system.

## Requirements

[NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download) version **18.0.0** or higher because of [Fetch API](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.0.0/).

## [Module](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#introduction) Installation

[NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-install)

```bash
npm i vernode
```

[PNPM](https://pnpm.io/cli/add)

```bash
pnpm add vernode
```

[BUN](https://bun.com/docs/guides/install/add)

```bash
bun add vernode
```

[DENO](https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/add/)

```bash
deno add npm:vernode
```

## [Module](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#introduction) Usage

```js
import vernode, { lts, current, nightly, reset } from 'vernode';

const versions = await vernode();

console.log(versions);
// { lts: '24.15.0', current: '25.9.0', nightly: '26.0.0-nightly...' }

console.log(versions.lts);     // 24.15.0
console.log(versions.current); // 25.9.0
console.log(versions.nightly); // 26.0.0-nightly...

console.log(await lts());     // 24.15.0
console.log(await current()); // 25.9.0
console.log(await nightly()); // 26.0.0-nightly...

// In long-running processes, clear the cache to re-fetch fresh data
reset();
```

## [CLI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface) installation

[NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/packages-and-modules/getting-packages-from-the-registry)

```bash
npm i -g vernode
```

[PNPM](https://pnpm.io/pnpm-cli)

```bash
pnpm add -g vernode
```

[BUN](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/install)

```bash
bun i -g vernode
```

[DENO](https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/install/) V2

```bash
deno i -g npm:vernode
```

## [CLI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface) usage

```bash
vernode

# Current: 25.9.0
# Nightly: 26.0.0-nightly...

vernode lts      # 24.15.0

vernode -j       # same as above via flag

vernode lts -j   # { "lts": "24.15.0" }

vernode help
vernode -v       # print vernode version
```
