Update notifier GO
Use
import { updateNotifier } from 'update-notifier-go'
updateNotifier('express', '2.1.1')
Unlike update-notifier
this
- Won't download several dependencies and be of any security risk of any dependency chains
- Won't depend on any core NodeJS modules. (so works in other env. too)
- Won't pollute your file system with json config files stores.
- It Will use the fetch api instead. (it will just be silent, if not available)
⚠️ Note: Personally I wouldn't use anything like a update checker but i keep
seeing other ppl wishes to have this kind of things. I personally thought
update-notifier
polluted my hard drive with config files and having access to
the file system, and it never cleaned up after itself which i didn't like.
Instead i would just run:
npm deprecate [email protected] <MESSAGE>
Install
update-notifier-go
is an ESM-only module - you are not able to import it with require
. If you are unable to use ESM in your project you can use the async import('update-notifier-go')
from CommonJS to load update-notifier-go
asynchronously.
npm install update-notifier-go
