📦 Package Version Checker

A CLI tool that scans your project’s package.json to check:

• Outdated dependencies
• License changes between versions
• License conflicts across dependencies
• (Optional) caching for faster repeated scans

🚀 Installation

npm install -g check-package-updates

or run directly with npx:

npx check-package-updates

🧭 Usage

npx check-package-updates	Scan all dependencies
npx check-package-updates --prod	Scan only production dependencies
npx check-package-updates --dev	Scan only development dependencies
npx check-package-updates --licenses	Show license info only
npx check-package-updates --json	Output results as JSON (useful for CI/CD)
npx check-package-updates --cache	Enable caching for faster results

🧠 Example Output

⚠️ Outdated chalk: ^4.1.0 → 5.3.0 | License: MIT → MIT ✅ Up-to-date react: ^18.2.0 → 18.2.0 | License: MIT → MIT

✅ All packages share compatible licenses. 🧠 Cache disabled. Use --cache to enable caching.

🗃 Cache When --cache is enabled, results are saved in .cache/package-checker.json. Cache entries expire after 24 hours.
